Construction is Officially Underway at Viking Masek!

OOSTBURG, WI - September 2015

On Tuesday, September 22, Viking Masek celebrated its official groundbreaking for the 18,000 square foot addition to their Oostburg, WI facilities. The expansion comes on the heels of an unprecedented increase in demand for the company's packaging machinery. The addition will add office space, storage space, and additional room for manufacturing.

Company President and Owner Rick Leonhard addressed the crowd after the ceremony, commenting that "this expansion wouldn't be possible if not for the great people that we hire and retain." The expansion will add additional jobs to the community, and interested individuals should check out the company's Career Page to find out the positions for which Viking Masek is currently hiring. 

 The company was founded in the mid-1990s by Rick Leonhard, President and is also led and co-owned by Robb Leonhard, VP, RC Huhn, CFO and Scott Miller, Operations Manager. The company’s success as a packaging machinery sales organization led to the creation of Viking manufacturing and service in 2005. While experiencing tremendous growth, the four partners decided to grow a more global presence and formed an exclusive partnership with Masek of the Czech Republic. Masek is a dominant European packaging machinery company. This led to the formation of Viking Masek Global Packaging Technologies.
