**Company Overview**:
VPI, based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, has been a catalyst of innovation and a leader in the flooring industry since its formation nearly 80 years ago. VPI invented static control tile and set the standards by which all other static control tiles are judged. Today, VPI has a full line of flooring products including static control tile, wall base and transition moldings, rubber flooring, stair treads and accessories. Going forward under current leadership, VPI continues to seek opportunities to diversify its product line, discover new uses for its wealth of technical expertise, display its ability to manufacture products with unequaled quality, consistency, and reliability, and recognize and support the efforts of its employees. VPI understands its strengths and is focusing on them to secure a bright future for its customers, its employees, and for itself.
