Vamp Screw Products, DBA Vamp Company, was founded by Paul Topolewski, Mary Topolewski, and their two sons Vincent and Albert. From the first letter of their four first names, the name "VAMP" was derived.
The business began operation in Huron Township, just west of Flat Rock, Michigan, in 1942. In 1968 the business moved to its current location in Gibraltar, Michigan, approximately twenty miles south of downtown Detroit.
