When asked about working at Vinyl Art, plant employee Oscar Gutierrez said, “I focus on creating good products, so 15 years just flew by.” Vice President Tim Hitchings agrees. “Employee records keep track of those things, so I believe it’s been 30 years since I started here. You just don’t notice things like that when your attention is on the customer.”

The longevity of employees and the company itself often come as a surprise to new customers who discover this small Minneapolis outfit. “You probably would never hear about us unless you need what we make,” Hitchings explains.

Vinyl Art enjoys a national reputation, in spite of not being a household brand name. The company manufactures custom vinyl and polypropylene packaging solutions. Vinyl Art’s clients range from large retailers needing point-of-sale and merchandising material, to financial and healthcare organizations looking for ways to creatively present and protect presentation material.

A comprehensive upgrade to its manufacturing equipment and a major renovation of the facilities was recently completed. Vinyl Art’s president and 30-year employee explains that the work is in preparation for the company’s upcoming 40th year of operations. “We’re ready for the future,” says Roy. “We’ll be having an employee recognition luncheon yearly now. Mainly because our awesome staff deserves it, but also because it’s so much fun to add up those numbers and enjoy time with our team!”
