Vanguard Companies celebrates 50th anniversary

Kansas City, MO-based Vanguard Companies is reaching a significant milestone in it’s history as they celebrate the Golden Anniversary – 50 years.

Since its inception in 1975, Vanguard Companies has been committed to excellence providing innovation, execution, and customer satisfaction. This milestone marks a momentous journey of growth and success.

“Our journey has been exciting, with many twists and turns, but always with the same goal in mind – delivering best-in-class results,” said James Beard, CEO.

“Over the years, Vanguard Companies has grown from a modest startup sheet plant to a leading manufacturer of industrial packaging, display merchandising solutions, digital print, and turnkey assembly and fulfillment. Through unwavering dedication and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we have successfully added litho lamination, pressure-sensitive labels, paper wound tubes/cores, single-pass digital print, laser cutting, assembly & fulfillment, and eCommerce to our original core capabilities. During this period, we also expanded our Sales and Creative Services teams into St. Louis Missouri, and Bentonville Arkansas. Our most recent expansion includes a coast-to-coast national sales team.

“Thanks to our highly skilled and dedicated employees, Vanguard Companies provides customized POP display and packaging solutions tailored to each client’s needs. We focus on making The Complex Simple through our commitment to innovation and excellence,” said Beard

“Our company has always been blessed with a strong team of highly motivated and talented individuals – many of whom have spent the majority of their careers with us. I want to thank every member of our team for your resilience, commitment, and incredible talent. We would not have achieved our success without you,” concluded Beard. “To our customers and business partners, we say thank you!  Our success would not be possible without your patronage and partnerships. We truly appreciate your confidence in our team, our strategy, and our future. We are excited about the opportunities ahead to continue our track record of innovation, execution, and customer success while serving our clients’ needs.”
