Vector Corrosion Technologies Celebrates 25 Years of Galvashield^® Innovation and Excellence

WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Vector Corrosion Technologies, the leading supplier of corrosion mitigation products and technologies for reinforced concrete, is proud to celebrate its 25th anniversary this year.

From modest beginnings to becoming a Made-in-Manitoba success story with global impact, Vector Corrosion Technologies has played a role in saving structures from Indiana to Indonesia.

Galvashield: A Quarter Century of Protecting Infrastructure

This milestone coincides with the 25th anniversary of Vector’s flagship Galvashield^® product line.

Noteworthy achievements include:

• Continuous Innovation: Our Galvashield products have continually evolved, setting industry standards for performance and reliability.
• Global Impact: Galvashield and other Vector technologies have been integral to numerous award-winning projects worldwide.

As part of our commitment to meeting industry demand, Vector now manufactures Galvashield products in Canada, the United States, and Indonesia.

“On behalf of our team, we are proud to celebrate our history of continuous innovation, resulting in market leading performance and reliability.  Our contribution to the sustainable service life extension of infrastructure will continue to motivative us over the next 25 years.” 

                   -David Whitmore President & CIO.
