About our company & the team

Founded in 1939, Vanguard has always been a closely held, locally-owned company.

My father dedicated forty-seven years to Vanguard, and in 1986, I transitioned from practicing law to acquire Vanguard, driven by the desire to follow in my father’s footsteps. My son Justin has recently joined our team as Vice President and General Counsel.

After nearly four decades, we are still motivated by the same values that have always guided the business:

To provide our customers with the products they need, when they need them, and to provide them with uncompromising support and service.

We believe our focused approach enables us to give our customers a great mix consisting of custom-formulated products, customer support, on-time delivery, and technical expertise.

Our modest size ensures every customer holds significant importance for us. While we cater to large global enterprises, we also extend our services to mid-size and small companies alike.
