About VAF

We started by listening to line crews.

VAF began in 2011 as a Southern California utility subcontractor. Line crews showed us where common hardware failed, from corroded guy anchors to climbing systems that did not fit the job.

Today, our woman-owned family business designs, builds, tests, and certifies utility hardware.

Woman-owned · WBE #15060226Family-owned since 2011
“VAF turns good ideas into products, which promotes innovation in the powerline industry.”
