THE VIKING BRAND HAS THE LONGEST AND
MOST SUCCESSFUL HERITAGE OF GRASS ROOTS
PROMOTIONS AND GAME CHANGING PRODUCT
INTRODUCTIONS IN PLATFORM TENNIS.
With over 30 years of experience in making the best balls and paddles
in the game which have helped produce dozens of national champions
this century alone, Viking has a history that cannot be matched.
For the better part of the last three decades, we have been the
unquestioned leader in platform tennis and – to this day - continue to
play an dominant role in driving the continued growth and development
of the sport. Viking is one of the few brands across all sports that
is synonymous with the sport for which it manufactures products
while our “Helmet & Horns” logo is the most recognizable symbol in
platform tennis. Since most players can remember, Viking has been
an immovable constant in the game and players at all levels have
continually chosen our products, which include balls, paddles, bags,
backpacks, gloves, warmitts, overgrips, eyewear
In June of 2021, Viking was purchased by co-managing partners Alex
Bancila and Matt Wierzel. This change in leadership will allow Viking
to transition from a company previously owned by private equity to a
company that is now owned by players. Our mission is simple: continue
to develop innovative technologies year in and year out in order to
provide the highest quality products on the market and make the game
more enjoyable for all players.
