In depth analysis of the Viking brand
Brand background and historical evolution
Viking Tech was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. It is a subsidiary of Taiwan's Guanglei Group. The company focuses on thin film/thick film process technology and combines high-frequency passive component and module design capabilities, becoming one of the few manufacturers in the world with integrated passive component production capabilities. In 2017, Guangjie was acquired by Fenghua High tech, a passive component giant in Chinese Mainland, and became its high-end resistance brand, further expanding the global market layout.
