INNOVATIVE PUMPING SOLUTIONS FOR ANY APPLICATION
Viking Pump, a Unit of IDEX Corporation, leads the world in the design and manufacture of rotary positive displacement pumps for use in some of the toughest applications. Since 1911, our innovative products have been key contributors to successful operations in virtually every industry—from military, to food and beverage, to chemicals, fuels and plastics—reliably pumping materials that are thin, thick, hot, cold, liquid, solid, etc.
We offer a wide range of pump models, sizes and composition, as well as customized, fit for purpose options, to meet your strictest requirements. But, it’s not just about selecting a pump from the catalog. To provide the highest quality results and ensure the right pump for the right application, our specialized Engineering team applies its accumulated knowledgebase and expertise to perform:
-
Site-specific problem-solving
-
Full product testing (performance, hydro, pneumatic, NPSHr, sound, and vibration)
-
Further testing, upon request (magnetic particle, dye penetrant, traceability, and positive material identification)
-
Liquid sample analysis (rheology testing and elastomeric compatibility)
-
Quality control of all finished products
Our newly expanded lab and 3-D printing capabilities streamline our testing and new product development practices, allowing for faster and more efficient solutions and testing.
In 2020, Viking Pump joined forces with a fellow IDEX business unit Wright Flow Technologies and began selling a leading hygienic line of products produced by Wright Flow Technologies. This broad line combines local engineering and global distribution with 40 plus years of market expertise and solutions for hygienic applications. The expansion of offering rotary lobe, circumferential piston and centrifugal pumps rounds out a range of product solutions to meet customer’s needs.
Furthermore, we have an outstanding network of “local” stocking distributors around the world who are standing by to assist you. Their team members are trained by our engineers to provide the technical, service and sales support you need. They also have specialized application engineers to help with your particular situation. It’s easy and efficient to contact these authorized distributors directly with confidence in knowing we have shared our 100+ years of experience with them.

OUR HISTORY
1904
Jens Nielsen, a Danish immigrant, developed a quarry in what is currently the downtown Cedar Falls area. When water started getting into the quarry, he began developing drawings of his original pump.* With the help of an employee, George “Shorty” Mathes, the first-ever rotary internal gear pump was built and patented in the same year.
1911
Nielsen partnered with three fellow immigrants P.C. Peterson (a machinist), W.L. Hearst (a doctor) and George Wyth (a shoe salesman) to form Viking Pump Company … named after the Vikings, who were the first European explorers of North America. In that first year, they manufactured fifty pumps, which generated revenues of two thousand dollars.

Product Engineering Lab
Viking Pump has invested in innovation in pumping solutions throughout its tenure. A modest yet efficient research lab was built in the facility in the 1940s.
This facility allowed us to test our products, meet engineering company standards, and have a focus on new product development. In 2014 we invested yet again in this area of the business and expanded the research lab to over 11,000 square feet. This lab includes has resources like dynamometers, data acquisition tools, viscometer and can test liquids from 28 to 25,000 SSU. Holding tanks for various liquids allow us to run our pumps in a variety of speeds and viscosities as we continue to grow into new industries.
In addition to the research lab, a new Technology Center was developed with a focus on 3-D printing, expediting testing and development of new products and solutions.
Roles that support this location include lab technicians, operations, designers, mechanical engineers, and machinists.
