VMAC announced it has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 2026, continuing the company’s long-standing track record of business excellence, innovation, and sustainable growth. This recognition reinforces VMAC’s position as a leader in the mobile compressed air industry and highlights the strength of its people, culture, and long-term strategic vision.
Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs, recognizing Canadian-owned and managed companies that demonstrate excellence in strategy, innovation, culture and commitment, governance, and financial performance. The program is administered by Deloitte Canada.
VMAC has continued to build on its reputation as one of North America’s leading manufacturers of compressed air systems and multi-power systems for mobile applications. From the company’s rotary screw air compressor technology to its latest innovations such as the G90 with FlexDrive AMS, VMAC remains focused on delivering high-performance systems designed to improve productivity, reliability, and efficiency for customers across North America.
“The VMAC team is honoured to once again be recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies,” said Tod Gilbert, President of VMAC. “This achievement reflects the dedication of our coworkers, the strength of our partnerships, and our continued focus on innovation, operational excellence, and long-term sustainable growth. As VMAC celebrates 40 years in business, this recognition is especially meaningful because it represents the culture and values that have shaped our company from the beginning.”
VMAC first earned Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation in 2019 and has continued to retain the designation through consistent performance and strategic growth. In 2025, VMAC achieved Platinum Club status, a distinction reserved for companies that have maintained their Best Managed designation for seven consecutive years or more.
“This recognition is a celebration of our coworkers and the culture we continue to build together at VMAC,” said Carolyn Breuer, Director of People and Culture at VMAC. “Our people are the foundation of VMAC’s success. We are incredibly proud of the collaborative, innovative, and supportive environment that exists across our organization, and this award reflects the commitment our coworkers bring to VMAC every day.”
Canada’s Best Managed Companies winners are evaluated through a rigorous independent process that assesses leadership in strategic planning, talent development, innovation, corporate culture, governance, and financial performance. The program recognizes companies that demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and strong leadership in an evolving business environment.
As VMAC continues its 40th anniversary year, the company remains focused on advancing compressed air innovation while maintaining its commitment to manufacturing excellence in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
