It all began in Berlin's model-making workshops with modest wire-axle models without glazing – and the big world of small transport models began to grow. Since 1932, an impressive body of model-making work has been created, which is a reflection of German automotive engineering in the post-war period. It was the authenticity of the WIKING models and their aura in the 1960s that made the miniatures, which were already glazed at the time, popular and collectible under the aegis of company founder Friedrich Peltzer.

Today, the heart of WIKING beats in South Westphalia at the Sieper Group – known for their toy models of the brand "siku". This is where the emotionally charged brand world of WIKING is designed and managed. Every month, novelties are delivered to specialist stores. These include a wide range of authentically designed cars, trucks, agricultural vehicles, and emergency vehicles from different eras. New variants are created from completely new moulds and, of course, sought-after reissues of  long-forgotten models.
