Viega Invests in Kansas Manufacturing Facility

Day one of our two-day Viega trip started with a tour of Viega’s McPherson, Kansas manufacturing facilities.

A lot has changed since we were there in 2016 when Viega invited us to check out an 80,000-square-foot addition to the campus so the company could begin making its MegaPress fittings. That marked the first time these fittings had been made in the U.S.

McPherson, a town of 13,000 people, has been Viega’s operations base since 2005, and it’s about an hour’s drive from Wichita, which served as the company’s U.S. headquarters until it moved to Colorado.

The Kansas campus is where Viega produces its PureFlow line of PEX product, as well as select fittings from the ProPress Copper and MegaPress product lines. McPherson is also home to Viega’s master distribution center for North America.

Despite the headquarters’ move to Colorado a few years ago, the company continues to expand and invest in McPherson.

“We are constantly looking past the immediate future and into the distant future,” Eric Wicker, Viega’s director of manufacturing, told us at our August tour.
