After continuous growth through the years, in 1986 Bradley Jacob joined Vulcan Machinery Corporation and continued its tradition of innovative designs for downstream plastic equipment. One of his most notable accomplishments was the design and build of a direct drive puller, which serves as the model for the modern approach of direct driven pullers. In 1991, twin brother David joined Vulcan to assist in managing of the rapid expansion Vulcan was experiencing.

In 1994, David assumed the role of president, allowing Ralph to begin pursuing interests beyond Vulcan including spending time with his many grandchildren and immersing himself in charitable opportunities including being one of the founders of the Ardmore Foundation who's mission is to support the treatment and care in a home environment for adults with developmental disabilities. in 1997, his twin sons purchased Vulcan.
