Lighting the way to a greener future with solar energy ☀️ We're thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey towards reducing emissions. Since the start of September, we’ve begun installing photovoltaic (PV) systems at our Ennest site, with Großheringen soon to follow! This is a significant step forward on our path to achieving climate neutrality by 2035. Covering a total area of 47,500 square metres — equivalent to more than six football fields — our PV-systems will generate 5.5 gigawatts of power soon ⚡ At Viega, we’re proud of our portfolio of over 17,000 innovative products, and we're equally proud to take this bold step in minimising emissions with renewable energy. Photovoltaics play an important role in our sustainability strategy, and this is just the beginning! Stay tuned — many more exciting projects are on the way. #Viega #Sustainability #Photovoltaics

Most people have seasons they look forward to: Some love Halloween 🎃, while others spend the whole year waiting for Christmas 🎄 Us? Of course, we look forward to different things, but we are always full of excitement when it comes to International Onboarding! Once a quarter, we welcome new employees at our headquarters in Attendorn. As a family-owned business in its fifth generation, it’s truly important to us that every new Viega employee feels at home from day one. In addition to setting expectations, needs, and goals for their new positions, we take the time to introduce our new colleagues to the world of Viega. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and share their experiences. “Before this experience, I thought two weeks of onboarding might feel like a long time. But I found the onboarding experience with Sven and Eduardo and my international team incredibly enriching”, says Ansis Banders, Sales Consultant at Viega in Latvia. “A real highlight for all of us was getting to tour the factory in Großheringen – quality and technology on that scale are so impressive and truly priceless for our business.” We are very happy to welcome Ansis and his peers to Viega! 💛 #Viega #Onboarding #FamilyOwned

Building the Future: A Career in Digital Construction With the rising demand for efficiency and sustainability in the construction industry, digital construction is playing a vital role in shaping a more responsible future. As the sector accounts for nearly 40% of global emissions, the need for innovative solutions is clear — and digital construction is leading the way. It’s not just about building smarter but also greener, creating career opportunities in a wide variety of disciplines — far more than you might expect 👀 Digital construction is playing a central role in reshaping the sector and is becoming a driving force for innovation. The career opportunities in this field are just as diverse as the industry itself, with roles for professionals in architecture, civil engineering, spatial planning, project management and software engineering, to name just a few. From digitising existing processes and enhancing data integration, to developing new software and implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital construction covers a broad spectrum of skills and practices. At Viega, we are committed to developing the skills of professionals within the industry. With Viega World, we have not only realised a landmark project in digital construction ourselves, but also created a centre for knowledge exchange and continuous education. Here, we offer specialised training programmes, including two dedicated BIM seminars, designed to equip diversly skilled experts with the skills they need to stay at the forefront of technological advancements. We love to support these diverse career paths in digital construction - and to be part of the future of building 💛 #Viega #DigitalConstruction #ViegaCareers #BIM #Innovation

🛳 Hey sailor, hop on board to learn about maritime safety with us! Around 80% of international trade is shipped across the world's oceans. This needs to happen quickly, efficiently and most importantly: safely. That’s why for today’s #WorldMaritimeDay, the United Nations chose the theme "Navigating the Future: Safety First!" While we often think of storms or navigation systems when discussing maritime safety, there's another critical element of safety that often goes unnoticed: the quality of potable water on board. We can support this by choosing high-quality pipe materials such as stainless steel and lead-free silicon bronze, which we connect safely and easily with our advanced pressing tools. In addition, Viega offers a wide range of pipe systems optimised for HVAC, seawater, lubricants and working air on ships and offshore platforms. "Our Viega pipe systems contribute to a safe supply of potable water as ships traverse the oceans," says Matthias Plugge, Vice President Cross Border Projects / Shipbuilding. "And with the right press tool and material on board, repairs can be made at sea, without delays." 🤓 It’s fascinating how small details can have a significant impact on safety. It’s always the little things that can make all the difference! #viega #engineering #technology #innovation #health #watermanagement #responsibility

In 1988, Viega reaches an important milestone with the opening of a new production site in Attendorn-Ennest. At the heart of the facility is one of Europe’s most modern foundries. 🏭🔥 It is here that our innovative metal press connection systems are introduced, paving the way for the site’s steady growth. Over the years, this has led to an enlargement of the foundry and the addition of a modern logistics center. Today, the Ennest site covers more than 140,000 square metres, reflecting our ongoing commitment to progress and quality. A proud chapter in our history. 🚀 #Viega #125years #ConnectedInQuality #Milestones

It's Ganesha Puja right now, a colourful Hindu festival in India where people celebrate the birth of the elephant god Ganesha, which began with Ganesha Chaturthi on 7 September. What does this have to do with Viega? Well, a lot! 🐘 Ganesha is known as the 'Remover of Obstacles' or the 'Harbinger of Happiness'. The worship of Ganesha marks the beginning of any endeavour. So Ganesha was also worshipped at the opening of the new Viega Experience Centre in Mumbai in August 2023 – another important milestone for the Viega Group 🎉 Since 2015, our colleagues in India have been working hard to conquer the Indian market for Viega. They’ve done a great job with a lot of hard work and dedication, and a little bit of divine support 🙌💪 We’re proud of what our team in India has achieved so far and we're excited to keep going with them on this successful journey 🚀 #viega #125years #connectedinquality #worldwide
