Specialty Steel, Industrial Hardware and Rigging, Welding and Abrasives, and Wire Rope. Given that &#8220;Vanguard Steel&#8221; inherently represents our steel division, we sought a unifying brand identity for our other core product lines. That&#8217;s where &#8220;VGD&#8221; comes in.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:298\">&#8220;VGD,&#8221; short for &#8220;Vanguard,&#8221; acts as an umbrella term, bringing together our Industrial Hardware and Rigging, Welding and Abrasives, and Wire Rope divisions. This strategic use of &#8220;VGD&#8221; creates a cohesive brand experience, clearly differentiating these divisions from our Specialty Steel offerings.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:245\">While &#8220;VGD&#8221; primarily serves as a simple abbreviation, we also like to play with what it <em>could<\/em> stand for, like &#8220;Value-Grade Devices&#8221; or &#8220;Vanguard Grade Durability.&#8221; This allows us to highlight the quality and value inherent in these divisions.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:252\">Ultimately, &#8220;VGD&#8221; is about clarity and consistency. It&#8217;s our way of ensuring you can easily identify and trust the products within our core industrial divisions, solidifying Vanguard Steel&#8217;s reputation as a comprehensive provider of top-tier solutions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52f3bab e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\"
