As a means of honoring our growth over the last few years and as we plan for continued growth and focus, we have decided to make the adjustment to a name that reflects our aspirations, focuses on national growth, and takes into consideration all of our locations versus one specific place (Sioux Falls, SD; Rapid City, SD; Denver, CO; and Orem, UT). VIKOR reflects that growth, transition and focus while at the same time honoring our connection to our Northern Midwest roots. Is this name change a result of new ownership? Has the company been bought out? VIKOR was started as a privately held company 30 years ago and plans to remain that way for the foreseeable future. Although ownership may go through natural adjustments and growth, the current structure and private ownership of the company will remain the same. This change only reflects our desired strategy for growth and advancement as a company. Will you be changing your legal name or just DBA? For the last 30 years, Sioux Falls Tower Specialists, Inc. has been the legal name of the company. In order to limit confusion and distractions as it relates to current customer contracts and as it relates to legal purposes, our legal name will remain the same for now. We will continue to evaluate needs for such change, but for now we will continue with our legal name as Sioux Falls Tower Specialists, Inc. and DBA as VIKOR. What is the meaning behind the name VIKOR? The name VIKOR was inspired by the Vikor method, a compromise-ranking algorithm developed to reach a solution that is closest to ideal in highly complex situations. We feel the definition aligns perfectly with our ideals. Our purpose is to stop at nothing to reach the most desirable solution in an intensely technical and calculated work environment. On a lighter note, we also like the name because of its indirect connection to our Northern Midwest roots. Like the early Vikings, we too identify with being rugged individuals, travelers, explorers and even conquerors. We will always look to positively represent the place where this all started, in the northern plains of Sioux Falls, SD. How soon will this change take place? This transition to our new name is effective immediately. The VIKOR team has taken many steps to creating as smooth of a transition as possible. We launched a new website , created social media accounts, replaced outdoor signage, etc. But, as with many major brand changes elements can take time to transition and as such, some external and internal aspects will change over time. As a company we are committed to this change and are excited for what it represents to us as we continue to look to what the future holds.
