Authorised distributor of Vanguard Products

Vanguard Products components MEC IMEX distributes

MEC IMEX is always sourcing materials, knowledge, and collaboration that best serve our clients and their future.

Vanguard Products is a full-service manufacturing and engineering company providing precision elastomeric fabricated goods. Its headquarters and production facility is located on the US east coast, close to seaport and airport shipping options.

Since 1966, Vanguard’s primary focus has been extruded and moulded rubber and silicone products. Over the years, it also developed an expertise in silicones and specialty elastomers, expanding into top quality, competitively priced gaskets, seals, hose, and electromagnetic (EMI) interference shielding gaskets.

Even if it never touches food, the designation “food-grade silicone” identifies it as a high-performance material. In electromechanical devices, internal wiring shielding can be made with food-grade silicone because it operates flexibly in temperatures ranging from -73 to 232 degree Celsius, with non-marking materials. Companies depend on this capability for industrial tubing, commercial food products such as freezers and commercial ovens, appliances, water filtration, and many other uses.

Smaller, internal components include compound rubber and silicone across a range of different volumes, colors, seals and gaskets, washers that protect wires, electric connections, and fiber optic sheathing.

RFID devices, cameras, and other products need protection of critical systems with an always-on, weather-resistant installation. Vanguard developed a patented Ultra-Vanshield gasket that protects from EMI and radio frequency (RF) interference.

Also, it holds ISO 9001:2015, NSF, and UL certifications, among others, for its US production centre.
