Vikan was founded in 1898 by A. P. Pedersen, who was raised just a few kilometres from our present headquarters here in Denmark. As part of a farming family who consumed the fruits of their own labour round the table after work, Pedersen had an instinctive awareness about the importance and value of hygiene. Over the subsequent decades, Vikan grew, went international and moved into exciting new business areas. But hygienic cleaning in the food and beverages industry has always remained our core focus.
Vikan is the world’s leading supplier of hygienic cleaning tools for the food and beverage industry and other hygiene-sensitive environments. With headquarters in Denmark and over a century of experience, we’ve amassed the industry’s biggest bank of hygiene and regulatory insights, and used this to develop the world’s most effective professional cleaning tools and advisory services. All to make sure that our customers can deliver each and every product they manufacture with pride and confidence. When you do business with Vikan, you can count on a hygiene partner that is acknowledged worldwide for professional tools, expert advice, functional design, superior quality and a pioneering spirit.
