The acquired business will function as a standalone CJK Group company, retaining both the Viking Label & Packaging brand identity and its current executive management team.
Routine manufacturing and order fulfilment will proceed uninterrupted, with clients continuing to deal directly with their existing sales and customer service representatives.
CJK Group will integrate the company into its central back-office infrastructure, providing shared services support in HR, IT, and Finance.
Established in 1965, Viking has spent more than 60 years manufacturing custom label products and inserts, specialising in custom pressure-sensitive labels and inserts.
Its technical portfolio spans cold foil, embossing, and multi-panel booklets, alongside tamper-evident and outdoor-durable labels.
The plant handles advanced digital and tracking solutions, including variable data and QR codes, as well as RFID inlay insertion and encoding.
Viking Label & Packaging president Kim Larson said: “Joining CJK Group gives Viking a long-term partner with the resources to help us invest in our people, equipment, and capabilities.
“Our customers will continue to work with the same team they’ve come to know and trust, and we’re excited about what this next chapter makes possible.”
CJK Group CEO Chris Kurtzman said: “Viking has built an outstanding reputation for quality, responsiveness, and partnership with its customers.
“This acquisition extends our portfolio into label and packaging manufacturing, a natural complement to the print and production expertise across CJK Group. Viking’s strength is its people, and we’re committed to supporting the team as they continue to grow the business under the Viking name.”
