Viega reached a milestone during the summer with the production of its first U.S.-made metal pipe fittings in its newly expanded manufacturing facilities in McPherson, Kan. Almost simultaneously, the company consolidated operations of its PEX manufacturing operation by shifting its resin production to McPherson. Viega has been selling metal fittings produced in Germany where the company is based. It previously was manufacturing PEX resin at its facility in Peachtree City, Ga.
Both manufacturing moves were planned long before Viega announced in April that it will move its North American headquarters from Wichita, Kan., to the Denver area by the end of next year. The company is building new corporate offices in Broomfield, Colo., in a structure whose architect took inspiration from the shape of a Viega pipe fitting. The same property will house a new educational facility that will complement Viega’s training center in Nashua, N.H., which opened in 2006 and has trained 25,000 industry professionals since then.
