Formed as Vulcan Binder & Cover by EBSCO Industries, Inc., in 1947, the company began by manufacturing single-copy magazine b ... inders for medical waiting rooms. Vulcan’s first facility was located in West End, Alabama. The company took its name from a Birmingham landmark—the 55-foot tall statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of the forge, which sits atop Red Mountain near the city center. EBSCO Industries was founded by Elton B. Stephens in 1944 and began what would become one of the largest privately held companies in the United States. In 1967, EBSCO acquired Burkhardt Company, and merged Vulcan and Burkhardt into a single company in 1969. Vulcan opened a 70,000 square-foot facility in Vincent, Alabama, which would become the company’s headquarters. Since that time, the company has increased manufacturing and office space into the 200,000 square-foot space where Vulcan operates today. In 1997, the company changed its name to Vulcan Information Packaging, a description that better fits its wide range of products. In 2013, Vulcan acquired American Thermoplastic Company and Four Point Products, a leading provider of product in the college bookstore market. In 2017, NAPCO acquired Vulcan Information Packaging. NAPCO, located in Sparta, North Carolina was founded by Rocky Proffit to manufacture boxes and custom packaging. NAPCO’s commitment to excellence in quality and customer service has helped it to become the leading provider of custom packaging using rigid board construction in the industry. The values of both companies are perfectly aligned. With the combined products and manufacturing capabilities, Vulcan and NAPCO are now positioned to bring a broader range of products through one of the most efficient custom packaging manufacturers in the United States.
