Allied Power Group buys Viking Turbine Services

Allied Power Group has acquired North Carolina-based Viking Turbine Services to expand its gas and steam turbine support capabilities. The deal adds field engineering, outage planning and project management expertise as APG looks to cover more of the turbine service lifecycle.

Why it matters: - The acquisition gives Allied Power Group more depth in gas and steam turbine support. - APG can now pair repair, parts and field services with Viking Turbine Services’ engineering and outage-planning capabilities. - The combined platform is meant to support customers from pre-outage planning through return to service. - APG said the deal also creates an opportunity to serve more customers as a neutral and unbiased service provider.

What happened: - Allied Power Group announced the acquisition of Viking Turbine Services on October 6, 2026. - APG is a global service provider focused on gas turbine repair, parts and field services. - Viking Turbine Services is a North Carolina-based gas and steam turbine engineering firm founded in 2009. - Viking provides field-based technical services for utility and independent power producer customers across the U.S. - APG and Viking said the combination expands technical expertise and capacity across complementary turbine platforms.

The details: - Viking’s work includes outage planning, project management and technical oversight for turbine outages. - The company supports the planning and execution of customer outages. - APG services GE gas turbines in Frames 5, 6, 7E/F and 9. - APG also services Siemens models 501D, D5A and F. - APG supports combined-cycle and fossil steam turbines. - APG provides component repair, rotor services, field services, and new and refurbished parts for industrial gas and steam turbine generator operators. - Viking is headquartered in Maysville, North Carolina. - APG said Viking adds technical advisors with OEM-service backgrounds. - APG CEO Jim Mugford said Viking’s engineers and outage expertise complement APG’s capabilities. - Viking co-owners Tim Midgette and Pete Jensen said the deal gives their team access to more engineering, repair and parts resources. - Midgette and Jensen said the two companies share a commitment to safety, technical excellence and customer service. - APG said the acquisition increases its capacity across complementary turbine platforms. - APG said the enlarged business strengthens its ability to support customers across the turbine service lifecycle. - The announcement included APG contact information for Ken Buttery and a LinkedIn page for the company: Allied Power Group on LinkedIn.

Between the lines: - The deal looks designed to move APG further upstream into planning and advisory work, not just repair execution. - Viking’s OEM-trained and field-based profile adds credibility in outage management, where timing and coordination can matter as much as technical repair. - APG’s emphasis on neutrality suggests a pitch to customers that want independent support across competitive turbine platforms.

What's next: - APG and Viking are expected to integrate their engineering, repair and field-service capabilities. - Customers should see a broader service offering for outage planning, execution and return-to-service work. - The companies did not provide financial terms or a closing timeline in the release.

The bottom line: - APG is using the Viking acquisition to widen its turbine-service footprint and deepen its engineering bench.
