Vermeer Corporation, headquartered in Pella, Iowa, is a global leader in manufacturing industrial and agricultural equipment. Founded in 1948 by Gary Vermeer, the company began with the invention of a mechanical wagon hoist to assist farmers during harvest. This innovation laid the foundation for a legacy of problem-solving and engineering excellence.
Over the decades, Vermeer has introduced groundbreaking machinery, including the first large round hay baler in 1971, revolutionizing the hay industry. Their product line has since expanded to encompass trenchers, horizontal directional drills, stump cutters, and surface excavation machines, serving sectors such as agriculture, construction, mining, and environmental management.
Today, Vermeer operates in more than 60 countries, supported by a robust network of over 600 dealers and approximately 4,000 employees worldwide. The company remains family-owned, with third-generation family member Jason Andringa serving as president and CEO. Vermeer’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer support continues to drive its mission to equip customers to do more.
