Viking Tool & Gage's success story originates in 1966 when William C. Foust began machining parts in his garage. His commitment to providing the best possible tools, gages and service has enabled the company to grow to over 170 employees in a 65,000 square foot facility.
In 1998, Viking Tool & Gage, Inc was purchased by Jack L. Burns who had over 40 years experience in the tool and die industry. Viking was subsequently purchased by Brian Burns in 2007 and remains dedicated to continuing the tradition of customer satisfaction.
