Viking has a broad spectrum of products and services including includes: chute and slide based marine and offshore evacuation and embarkation systems, liferafts, lifejackets, davits, pilot ladders and fire-fighting equipment to the passenger, offshore, fire, yachting and cargo sectors.
Henrik Uhd Christensen, CEO, Viking Life Saving Equipment, said: “The key reasons we’ve been able to achieve our financial objectives are our closeness to customers and our continuous development. We’re constantly in contact with customers, working to refine our understanding of their needs. We use this insight to fine-tune products and concepts so that we can maintain a strong competitiveness.”
Viking is continually raising the bar for safety through investments in the development of new products and services. At the end of 2012, Viking acquired a German company specialised in the servicing of maritime fire equipment to help drive the marine fire protection business.
The company grew its presence last year with branch offices and servicing stations in Brazil (Recipe and Sao Luis), Sweden (Gothenburg and Smögen), India (Chennai), China (Ning Bo), and the Ukraine (Odessa).
