Vermeer Corporation

Vermeer Corporation is a family-owned Iowa manufacturer that turns tough, dirty, essential work into machines. Founded in 1948 by farmer-inventor Gary Vermeer, the company built the first commercially viable large round hay baler and grew into a global maker of trenchers, horizontal directional drills, vacuum excavators, wood grinders and forage equipment. Now in its third generation of family leadership under CEO Jason Andringa, Vermeer is 'Equipped to Do More' - serving agriculture, construction, underground utilities, recycling and environmental markets from Pella, Iowa across six continents.
