VMAC is at the forefront of mobile compressed air innovation, delivering powerful, lightweight and compact solutions that revolutionize how municipalities operate. VMAC prides itself on manufacturing top-tier air compressors and multi-power systems in-house at its 44,000-square-foot facility in North America.

Known for its rigorous quality standards, VMAC’s products cater to a diverse range of demanding environments, from construction sites and road maintenance to heavy machine repairs and utility services.

Innovation at its core

At VMAC, innovation is not just a buzzword — it’s the core of every product developed. As The Leader In Compressed Air Innovation®, VMAC is committed to engineering air compressors that revolutionize how people work with some of the market’s lightest, smallest, most reliable and most powerful systems. 

VMAC’s product lineup includes UNDERHOOD® air compressors, hydraulic, diesel and gas-powered air compressors, direct-transmission mounted systems, and the innovative Multifunction Power Systems. These solutions are designed to maximize air power while reducing operational costs and environmental impact, allowing mobile workers to do more with less.

Fleets are switching to VMAC

With a system for virtually every municipal application, it’s no surprise fleets are switching to VMAC.

“The market is shifting, and fleets are intentionally moving to VMAC systems,” explained Gordon Duval, VP of sales and marketing at VMAC. “The superior performance and reliability of our systems, combined with unparalleled technical support, set VMAC apart from other options on the market today.”

VMAC’s G30 gas-powered air compressors and H40/H60 hydraulic-driven air compressors are the two most popular options for fleets, while VMAC’s Multifunction systems are a notable asset for remote job sites and unpredictable work.

“Municipal clients love the G30 and hydraulic-driven air compressor systems because they always get the job done. These systems are reliable, powerful and easy to integrate into any truck build. The G30 is fully turnkey, while our hydraulic systems are quick to install. They are ordered by fleets across North America as quickly as we build them.”

“For larger jobs, the 6-in-1 diesel Multifunction systems and 5-in-1 gas Multifunction systems are versatile workhorses ready for any challenge. By combining an air compressor, generator, welder, battery booster and charger, plus a PTO port on the diesel systems, your team can tackle any repair thrown at them. It doesn’t matter what surprises await your service truck fleet.”

Recognized excellence and quality assurance

VMAC’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. The company has received numerous awards for its innovation, manufacturing excellence and business management, including the Best Managed Companies and Occupational Safety Standard of Excellence recognitions.

VMAC also holds an ISO 14001:2015 certification for its environmental management systems and an ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management systems, reflecting the company’s outstanding attention to sustainability, quality management, standardization and continuous improvement.

“Continuous improvement is an essential part of VMAC’s culture and guides the way we approach work at VMAC,” said Brent Johnston, CEO. “We’ve invested in state-of-the-art quality control systems and our products are among the most reliable, but our team never stops in our pursuit of total excellence.”

Meeting rapid growth demands

At present, VMAC’s continuous improvement efforts are focused on meeting rapidly increasing order volumes, created by a steady influx of new fleet customers. The plan is to exponentially ramp up production capabilities to meet fleet demand and align lead times with customer expectations.

“When manufacturing companies like ours experience this type of rapid growth, the first instinct is to hire aggressively and quickly expand facilities, but we approach it differently,” explained Johnston. “We still look at those options, but we also challenge ourselves to analyze our current processes and identify meaningful opportunities for improvement in flow, throughput and velocity in our plant.”

VMAC understands that its strength lies in its people. The company fosters a culture of teamwork, innovation and continuous improvement, involving coworkers at every level to drive innovation.

“We go straight to our people when considering improvements because they are the experts. We ask those who do the work how they think it can be done better, then we empower them to make those changes. It doesn’t matter if you’re an assembler, an engineer, a foundry tech, or an office worker—you’re the expert in your space and you have improvement ideas we want to explore.”

This continuous improvement is never-ending and has become a part of everyday life at VMAC.

“An important facet of continuous improvement is that it is, in fact, continuous. VMAC’s teams will never be satisfied with the status quo, whatever that looks like, and are always looking for new opportunities to improve and innovate products and processes.”

But VMAC’s approach to growth is more than a feel-good story, it’s also a highly effective one. VMAC’s shipments to large fleets doubled again over the past two years, while warranty claims have plummeted.

Looking ahead

As VMAC continues to grow and evolve, the company remains focused on its principles: innovation, efficiency and quality. For fleet managers and industry professionals looking for reliable, cost-effective mobile power solutions, VMAC stands out by offering substantially more value in terms of total cost of ownership.

With a track record of pushing the boundaries of air compressor technology and a clear vision for the future, VMAC is not just a manufacturer but a true partner in every fleet’s success.
