Viking Masek begins major expansion of US headquarters

Packaging machine manufacturer doubles production capacity, adds 36+ workspaces 

OOSTBURG, Wis., NOVEMBER 11, 2020 – Viking Masek, a manufacturer of automated flexible packaging systems, is excited to announce a major expansion of its US headquarters. 

Adding 33,000 square feet to the facility’s footprint, the expansion will double Viking Masek’s production capacity, add 36+ workspaces, an outdoor courtyard, a sunny indoor commons area, and a new pub-themed multi-purpose gathering space. 

The project officially broke ground in November 2020 with expected completion in July 2021. 

“This business expansion is a natural progression for our company,” said Robb Leonhard, Viking Masek co-owner and Executive Vice President. “It increases our ability to better provide innovative and automated packaging lines from tote to pallet." 

After better than expected growth and nearly doubling its workforce over the last 5 years, Viking Masek has again outgrown its space. The facility was expanded twice before in 2015 and 2016.

 "We've reached a critical point where we need to maximize our space to keep exceeding our productivity goals and provide space for our growing workforce to succeed," comments Ty Weinhold, Viking Masek COO. 

Additionally, the expansion will streamline shipping and receiving as well as provide more space for R&D and full packaging line integration.
