Machinery manufacturer Viking Attachments announced it will invest $160,000 to expand domestic production of its VMV Series vibratory pile drivers in Morgan City, Louisiana. The company expects the project to advance its transition from pilot to full-scale operations, strengthening its ability to meet demand from marine and infrastructure contractors.
The company stated that the development would create 14 new jobs and retain two positions. Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will result in 24 indirect new jobs.
The facility will serve as Viking Attachments’ primary manufacturing and testing site for its VMV Series vibratory pile drivers, supporting engineering, welding, assembly, painting, testing and spare-parts warehousing. It will also support expanded inventory and the addition of a demonstration fleet.
Viking Attachments began pilot manufacturing of its VMV Series vibratory pile drivers in 2025 and completed initial sales, with additional units currently in production. The company expects to complete the upgrades and build-out by March.
To secure the project, the state of Louisiana offered Viking Attachments a competitive incentives package that includes the comprehensive workforce development solutions of LED FastStart.
