Our commitment to eliminating mediocrity and dedication to innovation has enabled us to produce high quality products for photographers and outdoor enthusiasts at an affordable price for over 30 years.
Full Product Accountability - From Idea to Finished Product - for Unsurpassed Quality Control VANGUARD has become a world leader since its founding in 1986, offering more than our competitors because we are the factory. There are no third-party factories, engineering or design firms, or other outsourcing of any kind in this process. More than 1,000 Vanguard employees create the products and drive the brand in our robust global operation. Every step of the process is coordinated by Vanguard's internal research, development, manufacturing, administrative, marketing and sales teams in owned and controlled facilities. This allows us to ensure superior product quality and eliminate "middlemen." The result is a cost savings for customers, higher profit margins for retailers, and greater efficiency in communicating directly with the manufacturer for everyone. Vanguard's founders owe our success to the people around the world who have provided supportive and valuable feedback on product features and pricing over the past three decades. This focus on market needs and desires has inspired us to develop products with unique features, remarkable reliability and impressive prices.
