About Us

At VLI, we have been supplying specialist mining equipment and related services to the resources industry for more than 30 years. Over the years, we have undergone significant expansion as a result of strong organic growth, and a program of tactical amalgamations.

Today, after having joined forces with several market leaders in terms of technical expertise and market share, VLI enjoys a reputation, both in Australia and abroad, as a dominant force in the supply of specialist mining equipment and related services.
