Since Vanguard’s first days operating in 1986 at a small manufacturing facility, a lot has changed in terms of technology and how we make our products ? from early die-cast production to current CNC machining. However, one thing remains constant ? we ARE the factory. There are no third parties, development or design firms, or other types of outsourcing to muddy up the waters. Everything is done in-house, from idea to implementation ? R&D, production, administration, marketing, and sales ? by Vanguard employees. This allows us to cut out middlemen and take control over our own product development, quality, market research, and sales efforts. The result is 40 years of higher value for consumers and greater efficiency and communication among everyone along the process.
