DAS Company is an authorized VIKO by Panasonic distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete VIKO wiring device portfolio — Karre and Karre Plus switches and Schuko socket outlets, Vera and Carmen designer ranges, Pacific IP54 outdoor devices, Thea Blu and Linnera series — to electrical contractors, housing developers and building material wholesalers across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base, at competitive B2B pricing for volume residential and commercial installation projects.
VIKO was founded in 1966 in Istanbul, Turkey and is the country's largest wiring device manufacturer — recognized as a "Turkey Top 500 Industry Organisation" with a 60,000 m² production facility in Sancaktepe and over 45% of production exported to 70 countries worldwide. In 2014 VIKO became part of Panasonic Eco Solutions, bringing Japanese quality management and engineering investment to the existing Turkish manufacturing base. All VIKO products carry CE and RoHS certification, comply with IEC 60669-1 (switches) and IEC 60884-1 (socket outlets), and are compatible with standard 60 mm EU flush back boxes — ensuring direct compatibility with electrical installation systems across all European markets. VIKO's combination of competitive pricing, broad range depth and reliable quality has made it a preferred specification for high-volume residential housing, social housing, student accommodation, schools and commercial office fit-outs throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
The VIKO Karre is the core residential wiring device series — the most widely specified VIKO range in Europe for standard residential new-build and renovation projects. Karre covers the complete functional device range: 1-way and 2-way light switches (screwless push-in terminals, max 2×2.5 mm² rigid conductors), 1-gang and 2-gang Schuko socket outlets (Type F, 16A, 250V AC, with or without child safety shutters), illuminated switches (with neon or LED indicator), push-button doorbell switches, intermediate switches for 3-way staircase circuits and blanking plates for unused frame positions. The screwless terminal system — conductors inserted directly into spring-loaded contacts without requiring a screwdriver — reduces installation time per device by up to 50% compared to conventional screw terminal wiring accessories, providing a measurable labour cost saving on large housing development projects. Available in white and beige finishes. Cover plates and frames in 1-gang, 2-gang, 3-gang and 4-gang horizontal and vertical configurations.
The VIKO Karre Plus extends the Karre series with an expanded finish and colour palette — adding anthracite grey, dark grey, soft touch finishes (ocean, night, turquoise, seashell, sandstone) and natural material effects (walnut, cherry, mahogany, oak, bamboo wood-effect, wenge) — while maintaining full device and frame interchangeability with the standard Karre system. The soft-touch surface finish provides a premium tactile quality and visible differentiation from standard gloss-white Karre devices — enabling interior designers and architects to specify contrast colour switch plates without moving to a premium-tier device range. Metallic and Inox chrome finishes cover modern and contemporary interior specifications. All Karre Plus frames accept standard Karre device inserts — allowing the frame finish to be upgraded independently from the switch or socket mechanism, and enabling mixed-colour installations (e.g., white switch on dark grey frame) from standard stocked components.
The VIKO Vera provides a rounded, softer aesthetic compared to the geometric Karre — targeting residential renovation and hospitality projects where a more traditional styling is preferred. Vera is available in white, cream and gold-effect finishes with curved-edge frames in 1 to 4-gang configurations. The VIKO Carmen covers a similar mid-range design positioning with additional colour and material options including opaque black and dark finishes. Both Vera and Carmen are compatible with standard 60 mm EU back boxes and share the same screwless terminal wiring technology as Karre — providing the same fast-wiring advantage in a different aesthetic. Vera and Carmen are widely specified in hotel room fit-outs, healthcare facilities and residential refurbishment projects across Eastern Europe where the rounded design styling is preferred over contemporary square-format Karre.
The VIKO Linnera and Rollina series provide the entry-level economy wiring device options for cost-sensitive social housing, student accommodation and basic commercial installation projects where the lowest installed cost per device is the primary specification criterion. Linnera and Rollina cover the essential functional range — 1-way switch, 2-way switch, single Schuko socket and double Schuko socket — in white finish only. Standard screw terminal wiring (2.5 mm² maximum) covers standard residential installation wiring gauges. CE and RoHS certification is maintained across all economy series products, ensuring code compliance for European building permit purposes.
The VIKO Pacific series provides IP54-rated splash-proof wiring devices for outdoor, bathroom zone 2/3, garage, utility room and kitchen splash-back applications where standard indoor devices are not permitted by IEC 60364-7-701 (bathroom zones) or building regulations (outdoor installations). Pacific covers 1-way switch, Schuko socket outlet (with transparent hinged lid maintaining IP54 when the socket is not in use), push-button, timer switch and TV/FM coaxial outlet — all within a self-contained IP54 weatherproof mounting frame that does not require a separate weatherproof box for surface mounting. The Pacific range is available in grey as standard. Pacific is the standard outdoor socket specification for garden power supply, building facade lighting control and outdoor CCTV power points across European residential and light commercial projects.
The VIKO Thea Blu is the premium contemporary series within the VIKO range, distinguished by its signature blue LED ambient light ring that illuminates around each switch and socket in the dark — providing both a night-orientation function and a distinctive interior design element in hospitality, residential and commercial premium fit-outs. Thea Blu is available in modular configuration — devices selected independently from frames — across white, anthracite and night black colourways. The VIKO Arkedia Slim provides a slim-profile contemporary aesthetic with distinctive angular lines, available in multiple colour finishes including soft touch variants. Both Thea Blu and Arkedia Slim target the upper end of the VIKO range for boutique hotels, premium residential apartments and contemporary commercial fit-outs where a visually distinctive wiring device is a specification requirement without the investment of Italian or German premium brands.
DAS Company provides access to current VIKO by Panasonic pricing for authorized B2B buyers across Europe. VIKO products offer CE-certified quality at pricing significantly below equivalent European brand wiring devices — making VIKO the preferred specification for large-volume housing development, social housing and commercial projects where installed cost per unit is a critical project variable. Product categories with available pricing include Karre switches and sockets (by gang count, illuminated/non-illuminated and terminal type), Karre Plus colour frames (by finish and gang configuration), Vera and Carmen devices, Pacific IP54 outdoor devices and Thea Blu/Arkedia Slim premium series. Volume pricing is available for quantities from 100 units per SKU. Contact our sales team for project quantity pricing and housing development supply programme enquiries.
