Viega Announces Major Manufacturing Expansion

Viega LLC announces a major growth initiative by breaking ground for a new manufacturing facility and plans for a master distribution facility at its McPherson, Kansas campus.

Situated on 127 acres, Viega's new, approximately 204,000-square-foot facility, will be dedicated primarily to manufacturing Viega's ProPress Copper product line. The new one-story facility will be constructed using LEED design principles and will match the exteriors of the other two buildings on the campus. Estimated completion for the building is mid-2019.

The new facility brings the total manufacturing square footage in McPherson to more than 700,000 and is expected to bring around 100 new jobs to the area. 

“Due to the continued success of our ProPress product in the U.S. market, we needed additional manufacturing capacity,” said Robert Boots, chief operating officer of Viega. “We've also been very encouraged with the quality and success we've had with the skilled workforce in McPherson.”

In addition to the new manufacturing facility, Viega is in the initial planning stages of moving its Atlanta-based master distribution center that houses its metal products to a master distribution center that will break ground in McPherson in late 2018. Viega will maintain a smaller, satellite distribution center in Atlanta.

The center will feature the latest technology and automation, as well as an upgraded warehouse management system that will provide faster product turnaround. With additional metals products being manufactured in McPherson, a larger distribution center for both metals and PEX products is necessary.

“Centralizing Viega's manufacturing and distribution in McPherson is a strategic effort to prepare for the future growth and continued demand of Viega products,” Boots added. “This is all part of Viega's commitment to continually provide the best-in-class service that our customers have come to expect.”

Viega LLC employs more than 600 people in North America with headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, its central manufacturing and distribution center in McPherson, Kansas, as well as satellite distribution centers in Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania, and a training facility in New Hampshire.
