Imagine a team of local storage experts serving all your storage needs, from project
planning, to product manufacturing and installation, to long-term maintenance. And
imagine that local team serving as your direct connection to the best engineering
and manufacturing team in the industry. All of this and more is possible following
Spacesaver’s acquisition of Viking Metal Cabinet Company.
For you, this means a complete suite of museum storage products and comprehensive
local service to simplify and improve collections care—whether you work at a small
local museum or at one of the largest institutions in the world.
And for the industry, this means honoring and continuing a decades-long tradition
of manufacturing industry-leading cabinets—a tradition that’s now enhanced by
Spacesaver’s dedicated engineering team, project managers, contract purchasing
options, and our extensive network of local distributors across North America. There are
now limitless possibilities for turning today’s ideas into the industry standards of the
future.
The best experience. The best innovation. The best solutions. Just imagine.

Storage planning can seem like a daunting task, but our teams do it every day. The Smithsonian, the
Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Yale University, and other prestigious institutions, large
and small, have trusted us to help plan, install, and maintain their collections storage.
Spacesaver’s acquisition of Viking unites the two companies’ rich history, the depth and breadth of their
employees’ experience, and their vision for the future. Viking has been in the metal fabrication business
since 1950, expanding with the acquisition of Interior Steel Equipment Company in 1995.
As for Spacesaver, our 358,000 square-foot manufacturing facility is located in Fort Atkinson,
Wisconsin, with teams of engineers and project managers. Over the past forty years, we have worked
with our network of local dealers to successfully complete more than 300,000 installations in the US
and around the world.
Merging these traditions allows us to bring you more expertise and higher quality than ever before. With
the acquisition of Viking, Spacesaver is the only museum storage company offering a full suite of museum
storage solutions, with entire teams dedicated to creating the best possible customer experience.

While our products adhere to museum industry standards, our in-house engineering team can also create custom
solutions for whatever you happen to be storing—and trust us, we’ve seen it all. Dinosaur bones? Done. 10,000 pound
torpedoes? Check. Saddles, seashells, film and photos? You bet. Tell us what you need to store, and we’ll create a way
to protect, secure, and access it for years to come.
We test every product extensively, then iterate until we have the best solution on the market. Our products are the
result of years of collaboration and refinement, and as we learn, we continually expand our standard offerings and
custom solutions.
In addition to our technical expertise, our network of storage consultants is connected with leading curators,
conservators, consultants, and architects allowing them to gain valuable insight into needs and upcoming trends. By
tapping into our network, you’re tapping into decades of experience and a community of museum storage experts who
work collaboratively to share knowledge.

We design around your existing components and standard processes and offer
complete planning and design services, along with a wide variety of configurable
products to maximize your space and offer the best in collections care.
Cabinets: For smaller objects such as shells, fossils, entomology specimens, and
cultural artifacts, we offer cabinets that can accommodate any size of drawers,
dividers, and trays. Cabinets can easily be placed on mobile carriages to make
the most efficient use of available space.
Heavy-Duty Storage: Spacesaver can store a diverse range of large items from
dinosaur bones to historic torpedoes and everything in between. Wide span
shelving and heavy-duty mobile shelving are durable methods for storing large,
bulky items near smaller, related artifacts.
Art Racks: Art racks provide compact storage and convenient access to hanging
art, and we offer a variety of options to suit any space. Art racks are equipped
with anti-tip and anti-vibration mechanisms to ensure your artwork is protected.
Archival Storage: Perforated shelving, end panels, and uprights permit increased
air circulation. Our mobile storage systems are engineered to save space in
climate-controlled environments. Our optional low-level lighting systems are
activated only when aisles are opened, limiting unnecessary light exposure.
Compact Storage: Any of our products can be mounted on a carriage-and-rail
system to save space. Our compacting systems eliminate wasted space in the
aisles, permitting high-density storage while maintaining the highest standards
of organization, accessibility, and preservation.
Textiles: Cantilever textile racking provides space for rugs, mats and tapestries
to be housed alongside the rest of your collections in a mobile system, or
optimally stored on their own.
