Viking Pro Oy is an event technology company from Kuopio, Finland. They import, sell and rent sound systems, stage and event lights as well as experiential tech such as fog machines. Their mission is to help their range clients organise unforgettable events where the sound is fresh and the lights shine bright!
Mikko Kankkunen, Sales and Marketing Manager at Viking Pro Oy said:
“We are proudly known for our uncompromising quality, and sarcastic sense of humour! Our world class technicians make sure that festivals, concerts and smaller events have the highest quality sound. In the dark Finnish fall and winter, we often provide light-technics for multiple big lighting events. Puijo Tower lighting and Olavinlinna Castle were the highlights of our lighting projects last winter”.
Custom flight cases are also big part of Viking Pro, whose custom work spans across multiple industries with multiple uses, including festivals, production, tours, artists, event professionals and companies as well as private individuals, serving a large clientele across Finland.
“We have two extremely skilled carpenters who ensure excellence for our customers. Along with their physical skillset, they are brilliant at creating new and innovative ideas to better serve our customers and meet their bespoke expectations. A rack with a fabric cover, case for radiophones with charging ability inside, case for hand sanitizer machines… anything that a customer wants, we are up for the challenge, and our team guarantee exceptional results every time. We are so confident of our craftmanship and the materials and parts we use, that we offer a 10-year service guarantee on all of our case products!”
One very interesting project Viking Pro Oy recently worked on was to make storage units for Ketoinen, a bakery. “The unit had to contain a freezer and of course had to look great! Well, the unit did contain a freezer, you can be the judge on the “looking great” part…” Ketoinen also needed a desk for presentations, so in true Viking Pro Oy style, they made their own version - a case that opens as a desk.
Viking Pro Oy have been using Penn Elcom hardware in their projects and build for around 15 years now. “Penn Elcom provide very good quality hardware at competitive price. Their consistent, tough superior products are items we can trust. We know that every time we put a Penn Elcom product on a case with our name, it will look fantastic, and work perfectly for many, many years.”
Based in Finland, Viking Pro Oy deal directly with our team in Germany, “it has always been easy to operate with them. We really appreciate the quick response and customer service we have received from them over the years. As with everyone in the industry, we faced some pandemic-related issues, but the team at Penn Elcom worked hard to help us with our orders and always kept us updated. Thankfully things are looking good now that Covid restrictions are over here in Finland, hopefully permanently! Summer festivals and other events are starting back up again, and it looks to be a very busy season for us.”
