Minneapolis Awards Company Recognized as a Certified Targeted Group Business

Minneapolis, Minn. – Viking Trophies, a Minneapolis awards company, is proud to announce that they have been recognized as a Certified Targeted Group Business by the Office of State Procurement (OSP), a division of the Minnesota Department of Administration. As an active member of the Ukrainian American community, owner and operator Zenon Dawydowycz sees this as an honor of the highest degree.

According to the OSP, “To be certified as a Targeted Group small business, the business must be at least 51% owned by a woman, racial minority, or person with a substantial physical disability. In addition, the business must be operated and controlled on a day-to-day and long-term basis by the qualifying owner. In other words, ownership is not enough; operational control is also required.” An easy feat for Dawydowycz as he has been a prominent hard-working member of the Viking Trophies team since he was 17 years old, starting as part of the production staff and worked his way up from to production manager, operations manager, general manager, and celebrated becoming the new owner in Fall of 2019.

Viking Trophies first opened their doors in 1969 and has been a prominent member of their community in Brooklyn Park since relocating to the area in 1988. Over the years, the company has been recognized for their outstanding work as well as their impressive level of customer service.

The company is known to offer only the highest quality trophies, awards, and plaques in Minneapolis. They have a strong focus on using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. At the same time, they ensure that the customer is in the center of what they do, always focusing on delivering the highest level of service.
