Pump History: 4 Generations of Viking Pumps and Engineering Excellence
The first generation of these pumps were engineered in the 1940s for truck-mounted applications. They were bolted to the chassis and driven off the PTO. That harsh environment established design features that would define the product line: a footed mounting bracket, a rotatable casing, and a thrust bearing housing for precise end clearance adjustment. The second generation saw a change to the bearing housing (while maintaining the same bearings) and an expanded range of sizes, material-specific model numbers and the offering of integrally jacketed versions.

Data Centers and Fuel Requirements - Where Pumps Play a Role
Hello, I'm Kyle Benning, OEM sales manager at Viking Pump. Data centers across the globe rely on fuel transfer pumps to maintain operation. I want to highlight some of our pump technologies that are ideal for this critical process. Data centers are essential for storing and processing information in our rapidly growing technological world. Small data centers may consume 10 to 50kW of power, while larger facilities can exceed 100MW. In the U.S. alone, roughly 3% of our power consumption goes to powering these facilities.
Kristie's Viking Pump Story
So I'm the HR support for several different functions within Viking Pump. Right now I support our foundry, our team in Windsor, Canada, and our finance team which sits at a couple of different locations. I did not have the foundry when I first started and I have the foundry now so that was a huge change in responsibilities since we have a union in the foundry and I actually had no experience working in a union environment when I started here. It actually was one of the reasons that I was interested in this job when I took it though.
