About Us
Vanguard Engineering delivers bulk material handling systems — ship unloaders, silos, and packing solutions — built on 40+ years of manufacturing heritage, trusted in 35+ countries.
Vanguard Engineering is the bulk-materials handling brand of VURMAK Group, founded in Mersin, Türkiye in 1985. Since 2019, VURMAK’s software division has operated as VEKON, digitalizing concrete plant operations. Vanguard Machinery was originally formed in the UK in 2017 to rent and test ship-unloader systems, and in 2024 it was reformed as a dedicated bulk materials handling manufacturer — evolving into Vanguard Engineering with the 2026 brand acquisition.

Our mission is to provide the global cement and concrete industries with high-performance, durable, and reliable engineering solutions that maximize operational efficiency. Leveraging 40 years of manufacturing expertise, we serve as a strategic solution partner rather than just a machinery manufacturer, delivering innovative systems that increase profitability in bulk material handling. We are committed to maintaining excellence in quality and customer satisfaction by overseeing every stage of the process—from custom design and manufacturing to installation. We back this with 24/7 global after-sales support.
Our vision is to lead a Türkiye-based engineering revolution in the global bulk material handling market by setting the industry standard for "Accessible Quality" and "Uninterrupted Global Service." We aim to remain at the forefront of technological advancement through continuous R&D, providing the most comprehensive, dust-free, and digitized solutions for the modern industry's evolving operational needs. By combining robust mechanical engineering with Industry 4.0 automation, we strive to be the preferred global choice for smart and sustainable bulk material handling.
Innovation is at the heart of our engineering philosophy. Through our dedicated Research and Development division, we drive the evolution of bulk handling by integrating Industry 4.0 standards and digitized control systems. We don't just build machines; we develop smart, future-proof technologies that redefine efficiency in the modern industrial landscape, from enclosed pneumatic ship unloaders to fully automated batching controls.
We prioritize the health of your operators and the safety of our environment. Our "closed-circuit" designs and integrated jet-pulse filtration systems ensure 100% dust-free operations, meeting the strictest global environmental regulations. Beyond technology, we care for our partners by providing 24/7 global support, ensuring you are never alone in your operations.
With 40 years of experience, we have mastered the art of rapid response. Whether it is through remote troubleshooting — connecting to any machine worldwide instantly — or deploying expert technicians across 35+ countries, our organization is built for speed: 24/7 maintenance support, rapid spare parts availability, field service and commissioning by our own engineering teams, and preventive maintenance programs tailored to your site. We minimize your downtime and maximize your Return on Investment (ROI) with flexible, turnkey solutions.
We are fueled by a passion for engineering excellence and a mission to lead a global revolution in "Accessible Quality". Our team of over 250 experts is dedicated to creating robust, high-performance equipment using premium materials like Hardox and Ni-Hard. We take pride in being a strategic solution partner that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in bulk logistics.
