Vermeer celebrates 75th Anniversary
Vermeer is celebrating its 75th year in business, marking its founding in 1948 when Gary Vermeer opened a small machine shop in Pella, Iowa.

The company, now known in construction for its trenchers, directional drills and environmental equipment, began when Gary created a mechanical hoist for his grain wagon. Word about the invention spread quickly and sparked a career - and booming business - in equipment design and development for the farmer. Third-generation family member, president and CEO Jason Andringa says the company will continue to honor Gary¢â‚¬â„¢s legacy of innovation and community support during its next 75 years in business.

 ¢â‚¬Å“With the guiding principle of treating other people how you¢â‚¬â„¢d want to be treated yourself, we¢â‚¬â„¢ve created a culture over the last 75 years of making a real impact on the way work gets done that continues to drive our company forward,¢â‚¬Â said Andringa. ¢â‚¬Å“Ultimately, it¢â‚¬â„¢s a commitment that is part of every interaction we have among ourselves, suppliers, dealers, customers and the communities we live and work in.¢â‚¬Â
