Initially producing brass beer taps in Germany in 1899, The Viega Group was introduced to the North American market in 1999 and has since grown into a leading international company of over 4,000 employees producing plumbing, heating, and pipe-joining solutions worldwide.

Dave Garlow joined Viega LLC in 2000 and became President and CEO in 2013. Viega LLC, a subsidiary of The Viega Group, was originally headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. Garlow saw opportunity for growth in the Colorado market and in 2016 backed the move to its future North American headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado. The estimated completion is late 2018.

The future facility will be situated on 11.8 acres with a state of the art 55,000 square foot office building, featuring a sweeping curved roof, as well as a 24,000 square foot training facility. Along with the new modern campus, Viega LLC is bringing 190 jobs with an average wage of $85,000 to the Sate of Colorado. In addition, the Colorado Economic Development Commission approved Viega LLC for over $200,000 in incentives for 20 jobs in their product training center. 

With more than 600 employees throughout the Americas, Viega LLC has made a significant impact on the industry in a very short time. At the helm, Garlow continues to expand Viega LLC's legacy of customer service, quality and innovation that has contributed to the company’s exceptional growth. 

Prior to his current role, Garlow served as a Regional Manager, National Sales Manager and as the VP of Sales and Marketing at Viega. Garlow graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and completed his MBA from the Katz School of Business.

He is a member of the American Legion and Vistage, the world’s leading business advisory and executive coaching organization, and actively supports the German-American Chamber of Commerce.
