The next 50 years will not be built by standing still. Our recent Pallet Enterprise cover story examines several ways Viking is responding to what pallet manufacturers are telling us they need: ▪ Expanded block pallet capabilities through Viking by Delta ▪ Greater line automation through our partnership with Joutech ▪ Practical labor and quality solutions, including automatic stringer feeding and pallet ejection ▪ Stronger parts, service, training and lifecycle support These initiatives may look different, but they are driven by the same objective: helping customers maximize uptime, increase productivity and get more value from their equipment.

Fifty years in—and just getting started. We’re honored to be featured on the cover of the July issue of Pallet Enterprise. The story takes a candid look at where Viking has been, what we have learned and how we are building our next chapter around one priority: helping pallet manufacturers succeed. That means listening more closely. Moving faster. Expanding automation through new partnerships. Strengthening parts, service and training. And continuing to invest in practical solutions that improve uptime, productivity and quality. Thank you to Chaille Brindley and the Pallet Enterprise team for telling the story—and to our customers and employees who continue to shape where Viking goes next. #BuildWithViking #Pallets #Automation

Some people do a job. Others leave a legacy. Last week, we said goodbye to one of Viking's true legacy builders. After more than three decades of dedication, commitment and countless contributions, joan montague officially retired. While we will certainly miss seeing her each day, her positive attitude and hallway high-fives - we are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact she's had on our team, our customers and our culture. For 31+ years, Joan exemplified what it means to serve with professionalism, kindness and dedication. Her work help shape who Viking is today, and her legacy will continue to be felt for years to come. Joan, thank you for everything you've given to Viking. We wish you nothing but happiness, good health and countless new adventures in this well-earned next chapter. Congratulations on an incredible career - thank your for all the amazing years. #OnceAVikingAlwaysAViking #VikingStrong #Gratitude

Let’s celebrate one of Viking's true legends. If you've been around the pallet industry for any length of time, chances are you've crossed paths with Dan Macheledt. Whether it's helping a customer solve a challenge, sharing his deep industry knowledge, or simply being the kind of person people enjoy working with, Dan has built a reputation that extends far beyond the walls of Viking. Over the years, we've heard countless customers speak highly of Dan—not just for what he knows, but for who he is. His commitment to our customers, willingness to help, and genuine care for others have made a lasting impact on our team, our partners, and our industry. And while Dan is known for his professionalism, every once in a while he reminds us that we need to have a little fun... as evidenced by this one-of-a-kind birthday photo. Dan, thank you for everything you do for Viking and for the countless relationships you've built throughout your career. We're fortunate to have you on our team and proud to call you a Viking. Please join us in wishing Dan a very happy birthday in the comments! #VikingStrong #BestInTheBusiness
