the evolution of the viking kitchen Necessity is the mother of invention. And lucky for invention, she's also a pretty good cook. Fred Carl, a fourth-generation building contractor, hit upon the idea of the Viking range in the 80s. In the midst of building his own home, he discovered the range he wanted didn't exist. His wife, Margaret, cherished the heavy-duty performance and classic look of her mother's Chambers stove. But Chambers had long since ceased production. Fred considered installing an actual restaurant range in their new home. But he knew that a commercial range would be impractical,...

After countless late nights, he finally arrived at a hybrid that corralled the cooking power and features of a professional range into a design feasible for home use. And he decided it was time for just such a product to be brought to market. The only thing more unbelievable to Fred than the fact that a range like this didn't already exist was the reaction his idea received from the commercial range manufacturers he approached. "Who on earth would buy a range like this?" they all asked as they showed him the door. Fred finally persuaded a small company in southern California to produce the first...

After two years of trial, error, and extensive testing, the first Viking ranges received American Gas Association certification in late 1986, and shipped in January 1987. Incredible consumer response quickly overwhelmed Fred's contract manufacturer. Who on earth would buy a Viking range, indeed? Viking soon opened its own manufacturing plant in Greenwood, Mississippi, and realized there was room for professional performance in every corner of the kitchen. By the end of the decade, Viking would operate three manufacturing facilities in MICROWAVE OVEN ARE INTRODUCED; BLENDER AND STAND MIXER OUTDOOR...

Greenwood, and the Viking kitchen would grow to include built-in cooking, ventilation, refrigeration, cleanup, and outdoor products - and an entirely new appearance for professional performance with Viking continues to branch out and improve upon more product categories, introducing cutlery, cookware, and small appliances - even outdoor stainless steel cabinets. But these aren't mere vanity items. They offer the same exceptional performance and craftsmanship people expect from the Viking brand. And that's what they'll always get from Viking. To that end, we've answered the demand for a truly...

Viking is a community within a community. And even though Viking products ship around the world, the company has always stayed true to its roots in Greenwood, Mississippi. The Viking range was dreamed up in Greenwood. And the people of Greenwood believed in it. Their encouragement and elbow grease have helped push Viking to where it is today. These are Viking people, and they are our greatest asset. In this town of 18,000, located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, people actually know their neighbors - next door and three streets over. They're accustomed to pulling together to get things...
