Vigor Works LLC, established in 1995, is a diversified industrial company operating across six locations in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. With a workforce of approximately 1,800 employees, Vigor specializes in shipbuilding, ship repair, and complex fabrication, providing crucial services for energy generation, national defense, and infrastructure projects. The company began its journey when Frank Foti acquired an ailing ship repair enterprise, Cascade General, and transformed it into a values-driven business focused on skilled labor and innovative manufacturing strategies. Through strategic acquisitions, including Todd Pacific Shipyards, Alaska Ship & Drydock, and Oregon Iron Works, Vigor expanded its operational footprint and enhanced its fabrication capabilities. Today, it stands as a leader in specialized maritime services and complex metal fabrication, servicing clients like Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy. Vigor's mission is not only to deliver quality projects but also to foster a corporate culture that values truth, responsibility, evolution, and love, ensuring a positive impact on both its workforce and the communities it serves.
