Teleconstruction Craig Snyder VIKOR

or over 30 years, VIKOR has built and serviced telecommunication infrastructure that unites people across the nation, all from the Sioux Falls community. They are committed to being at the front of the ever-evolving industry and offer full turnkey services for wireless, renewables, oil/gas and transportation sectors. Led by founder and CEO Craig Snyder, VIKOR has been named one of INC 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies for four consecutive years. “When people ask me how we have become so successful, I often joke that VIKOR is a 30-year overnight success,” Snyder said. “We’ve learned a lot over the last 30-plus years. We like to think of ourselves as the biggest mom-and-pop company in our industry with more room to grow. We still have that small company feel. It speaks to the amazing people that make up who VIKOR is today.” Today, VIKOR has 200 employees and 9 locations throughout the nation. However, the Sioux Falls community will always be a special place to Snyder. “I love the sense of family in Sioux Falls. I love the sense of community and belonging,” he said. “I love that our city leaders have invested in technology and invited and encouraged technology businesses to enter the market by clearing the regulatory path for them to invest in our city ahead of our much bigger neighbors.”
