Mike Heist, a commercial artist by training, started in the vinyl graphics business in 1983. He has owned and operated Crux Vinyl Graphics since 1991. Mike works one-on-one with clients establishing long-lasting, professional partnerships. Mike is hands-on throughout the process ensuring design, manufacturing, installation, budget and scheduling requirements are being met. The company is large enough to handle the most challenging, large scale projects, while being small enough to respond quickly to changes and flexible enough to work with any situation to get the job done.

Crux has a great team of experienced design, production and installation staff with an eye towards efficiency and detail. Crux employees come from a wide range of backgrounds, from graphic design to master craftsman's. They are experienced working under tight deadlines as well as with challenging, innovative projects. They work closely together to guarantee a great product.

In the same location since the beginning, Mike has continually expanded and upgraded the design and manufacturing facilities to meet the ever-changing needs of clients. Recognizing that weather conditions, too cold, too hot, too wet, or too windy, will degrade or delay an installation, an on-site, dedicated facility was designed and built to ensure perfect conditions at any time. The building, completed in 1997, is bright, clean, well-lit, heated and cooled, secure, and provides space for any size vehicle.

Crux is a member in good standing of:

• U.S. Chamber of Commerce
• N. Ky. Chamber of Commerce
• National Federations of Independent Businesses
