Viega to expand in Kansas

Viega LLC, a provider of pipefitting installation technology, has broken ground for a new manufacturing facility in McPherson, Kan. The 204,000-sq.-ft. plant, constructed using LEED® design principles, will be used to manufacture the company’s ProPress® Copper product line. It will give the company a total of 700,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space and add about 100 jobs.

In addition to the new manufacturing facility, the company 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. The firm will maintain a smaller, satellite distribution center in Atlanta.
