Legacy of Value
NPI is a third-generation family-run, Woman Owned Small
Business, dedicated to partnering with our clients to provide
excellent service and high quality products.
Nameplates, Inc. has grown from the vision of Marjorie Conley,
former housewife turned business owner nearly overnight after
the untimely death of her husband. Although she initially came
from humble beginnings with no formal business education, she found something about
the business world agreed with her. “In 1966, there were not many well-respected
women in business,” Conley has been quoted as saying, “But I decided I liked to eat and
I had a nine-year-old daughter at home, a child in college, and I needed to provide for
them.” That provision and vision has continued through the years. In 1985, Mrs. Conley
was recognized as the Small Business Person of the Year by the Metropolitan Tulsa
Chamber of Commerce and the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce. She also
received an honorable mention in the National Awards that year.
Her vision for a company founded on the highest business principles and service to the
customer is now extended through her daughter Claudia Hamilton, former president,
and to her granddaughter, Brooke Hamilton, president.
Nameplates, Inc. is a family that will always cherish the importance of the “Legacy of
Value” instilled in them, and will continually challenge to pass that value through to
customers with every interaction.
