Company Profile

Viking Packaging started in 1973, but our lineage goes back quite a bit farther. F.D. Croce Company began manufacturing peanut bags in Manhattan in 1892, and in the 20th century, the company expanded into produce cartons and moved into the Hudson Valley. It became increasingly difficult to get quality corrugated partitions needed for the produce boxes at a good price. Viking Industries was founded to satisfy that need. Viking has always been family owned and operated so we are personally committed to doing every customer's job right.
