Viega.
Connected in quality.
Building on Tradition
Founded 120 years ago, Viega is a privately owned, international group of companies.
In the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America, Viega specializes in plumbing,
heating, and pipe joining technologies. The values of Viega’s founder, Franz-Anselm
Viegener, are just as present today as they were when he started the company in 1899.
Courage, passion, and innovative spirit are still the basics of Viega’s foundation.
