STEVENSVILLE, MD – Many mount companies have come and gone since 1994. Such
reliable, stable, and evolving brands are continually harder and harder to come by, yet there is
one that has withstood this test of time.
Video Mount Products proves Nothing Holds Up Better! as the company is proud to
announce that it is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
“The first flat screen television for consumers as we know it was introduced in 1997, and
we were around for years even before that,” said Keith Fulmer, president of Video Mount
Products and a 38-year industry veteran who joined VMP in 1996. “In 1994, and until flat
screens became affordable to the masses well into the 21st century, big and boxy tube televisions
were all the rage. VMP quickly became a favorite for mounting these bulky CRT’s onto walls
and from the ceilings of bars, restaurants, K-12 and college environments, and other commercial
venues.”
For the past three decades, Stevensville, Md.-based VMP evolved along with an ever
expanding A/V industry into a leading supplier of flat panel mounting solutions, from
installations in educational, institutional, and religious applications to lodging, sports venues,
residential, health care, and restaurants.
30 years ago, Stevensville, Md.-based Video Mount Products began as an OEM project to
provide mounts for a handful of Maryland electronic distributors whose customers were handling
multiple TV installations in small venues. The line began with a product offering of just six
items and has evolved into an industry leader now offering nearly 200 SKUs to installation
professionals across every facet of the A/V, communications, and security industries.
“While we began strictly offering TV mounts for CRTs, we now provide an extensive line
that includes mounts for flat panels and projectors as well as equipment racks and cabinets for
data and A/V installs,” Fulmer added. “Additionally, we cater to the needs of our wireless and
broadband customers with an array of satellite and antenna mounting products.”
In 1996 when Fulmer was a principal of Keller & Associates, which was the
manufacturers’ representative for Video Mount Products in the NY/NJ Metro area, the founder of
VMP hired him to spearhead VMP’s growth and market development. In 2005, Fulmer
purchased all of the company’s outstanding stock and became the sole owner.
Fulmer holds a B.B.A. in Accounting from James Madison University, is the father of
two sons, and is an active leader of the Boy Scouts of America since 1997 as well as an active
member of Christ Episcopal Church (Kent Island, Md.; oldest congregation in MD – Founded
1631). Prior to joining VMP, Fulmer was owner of manufacturers’ representative Concepts
Unlimited, and executive vice president and partner for manufacturers representative Keller &
Associates.
“VMP products have been engineered for and installed with confidence in thousands of
A/V, communications, and security applications throughout the world,” Fulmer concluded. “30
years is certainly a milestone to be proud of, especially in our market. However, we celebrate
every single year because we are incredibly thankful for our customers and partners and we
wouldn’t be celebrating three decades in the business without them.”
VMP prides itself on providing the best products in the industry and by supporting those
products with the best customer care possible with knowledgeable professionals who understand
that ‘support’ is the core of VMP’s business.
