Now, fast forward to 1990: The three original partners have retired or passed away. Thirty years post-founding, VMP's growth is reflected in its customer base (roughly 500) and the 14,000 square-foot plant it bought in 1984. Bob Schreiner, Sr., president of VMP, Inc. since 1969, issues a challenge to his children (and coworkers) Bob, Jr., Sue and Steve: Surpass the $1 million mark and I'll buy you each a new car. Bob, Sr., passed away in 1991; two years later, his challenge was met. And, in the ensuing eight years, met again. Many times over. VMP, Inc. today is a family-owned company that has grown and changed with the world around it, from humble beginnings to industry leader, through occasional lean years and ever-increasing flush times. Under the auspices of the Schreiner children, Bob, Jr., 46, Sue St. George, 42, and Steve, 44, (Bob Sr.'s wife, Betty, holds the honorary title of president), VMP has cemented its place in the competitive inserts market due to a business dynamic that unites customer service, product quality and razor-sharp strategic thinking.
