Vector Security has been on the path of success for many years, even earning SDM’s Dealer of the Year distinction once before in 2003. The company’s commitment to revamping and revitalizing its internal structure to be prepared for what’s ahead; strong dedication to employee education, advancement and opportunities; and passion for doing what’s right for customers and the industry overall earned them that distinction again in 2015.
Vector Security may have been “officially” founded 44 years ago, but the company’s heritage goes back much further than that. The Philadelphia Contributionship, the mutual insurance companythat purchased the Pittsburgh-area dealer in 1982, was started by none other than Benjamin Franklin in 1752 to insure buildings against fire. Today, Vector is a sister company to the Contributionship, both owned by TPC Holdings.
“We have hundreds of years of history behind us,” says Pam Petrow, Vector’s president and CEO. “It isn’t just about what we do today, but about how we position the company and build on the strong foundation and legacy we have been handed. Our reputation and brand are critical (to maintaining this legacy) and our board of directors and the Contributionship want another 200 years.”
