Innovation on the show floor often comes down to the details that make field work faster and more efficient. Recently, at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, Knapheide showcased a lube truck equipped with the #UNDERHOOD40 air compressor by VMAC, demonstrating how integrated compressed air plays a critical role in supporting heavy equipment maintenance in the field. The UNDERHOOD40 delivers air power for pneumatic tools, tire inflation, and routine service tasks without interruption. Because the system installs directly under the hood, it frees up valuable cargo space and reduces overall truck weight, allowing operators to carry more fluids, tools, and equipment needed to keep machines running. For fuel and lube trucks servicing equipment across construction, mining, and infrastructure projects, having reliable compressed air on board helps crews complete preventative maintenance faster and minimize downtime. Great to see Knapheide highlighting how integrated compressed air systems like the UNDERHOOD40 continue to support productivity for mobile maintenance teams.

MEMORY LANE MONDAY...At VMAC, innovation starts with people. From old photos around the shop to some great blasts from the past, it is incredible to look back at how far we have come together. Through every milestone, product launch, facility expansion, and busy day on the floor, one thing has always stayed the same: our coworkers are our biggest asset. VMAC designs and manufactures some of the most innovative mobile air compressors and multi-power systems available today. As one of the only true air compressor manufacturers in North America, we have built a reputation for extraordinary build quality, durability, and reliability. That reputation did not happen by accident. It was built by the hard work, skill, dedication, and pride of the people who come through our doors every day. Thank you to all of the coworkers, past and present, who helped make VMAC what it is today. #VMAC #AirCompressors #Manufacturing #MobilePower #TeamVMAC #WorkTruck #Innovation #BlastFromThePast #CoworkersMatter

Innovation thrives when engineering and production move in sync. That idea drives everything VMAC does — and with CADLink connecting their CAD and Epicor ERP, they’re bringing their design and manufacturing data together like never before. As Steven Thomas, Mechanical Technologist – Product Development, shared: “Imagine not manually making a BOM; and having your CAD files actually mean something to the greater organization outside of engineering. With a freshly updated PDM, and an incoming new ERP – there was an appetite to modernize our data entry and reduce having the same information in multiple places.” By bridging these systems, VMAC simplified data management, ensured accuracy across departments, and eliminated redundant processes — unlocking more time for innovation and growth. A big thank you to the VMAC team for collaborating with us and sharing your journey toward a more connected, efficient workflow. 👉 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/ehxWKeGp #QBuildSoftware #CADLink #ERPIntegration #CaseStudy #Manufacturing #DigitalTransformation #CustomerSuccess #VMAC #Epicor

We had a special visitor hop through VMAC recently… and yes, the Easter Bunny delivered. 🐰🍫 Coworkers were surprised with chocolate eggs, a few laughs, and plenty of warm wishes to go around. It is always a good day when there is a little extra chocolate in the shop and even better when it brings smiles across the whole team. Moments like this remind us that it is the people here who make VMAC what it is. We love seeing our coworkers happy, connected, and maybe just a little bit sugared up. We hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. 🐣 #VMAC #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeExperience #TeamVMAC #Coworkers #WorkplaceHappiness #EmployeeEngagement #TeamSpirit #Easter #EasterFun #Manufacturing #Nanaimo #VancouverIsland #PeopleFirst

🎉Today’s the day we celebrate Christina Larsen and an incredible career at VMAC. From day one, Chris has brought dedication, positivity, and a whole lot of personality, and it’s safe to say things won’t be quite the same around here without her. We’ve put together a tribute video to look back on the memories, the moments, and the impact she’s made over the years. Take a few minutes to watch, tag yourself if you spot yourself in the video, and share it with anyone who’s been part of Chris’s journey. Chris, enjoy every minute of your well-deserved retirement. You’ve more than earned it… but we’re definitely going to miss you around here!

Celebrating Christina Larsen’s Career at VMAC. As VMAC prepares to celebrate 40 years of innovation in 2026, we are also preparing to mark the close of an extraordinary chapter in our own history. On April 2, 2026, Chris Larsen will officially retire from VMAC. Chris joined VMAC in 1997, in the company’s early days, starting part time on the production floor as an electrical assembler. At the time, VMAC was transitioning to building control boxes for what would become the highly successful UNDERHOOD® Air Compressor System. Chris quickly became an integral part of that evolution, assembling kits, improving organization, and standardizing processes that strengthened quality and efficiency across the board. Her impact did not stop on the production floor. Read the full story: https://hubs.ly/Q049hW_D0
