How VEI Got Here
VEI Communications was founded in 1997 in Vincennes, Indiana on a different model than most dealers: carry multiple brands so the recommendation matches the operation, do a real coverage analysis before quoting hardware, and staff every office with technicians who can repair equipment the same day.
That model scaled from Vincennes to Evansville, Seymour, Louisville, Russellville, Lumberton, and Darlington. Today VEI serves thousands of commercial and public safety organizations across Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The principle has not changed: the recommendation fits the job, not the inventory.
Dan Shepherd, President
Dan started VEI Communications in Vincennes in 1997 after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and earning his degree from Southern Illinois University. What began as a Kenwood dealership in southern Indiana grew into a seven-office operation covering four states.
He built the company on a simple idea: match the right equipment to the job, not the inventory. Nearly three decades later, that approach hasn't changed.
Today VEI employs 27 people across Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Every office is staffed with factory-certified technicians. Every recommendation starts with a coverage analysis, not a sales pitch.
Great folks! Friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. It is a pleasure doing business with VEI Communications.
