Gary Vermeer established Vermeer Manufacturing Company in Pella, Iowa, in 1948. Now, more than five decades later Vermeer has developed many "firsts" including the world's first large round hay baler, tree spade, and stump cutter. Since its inception, Vermeer Corporation has grown from a one-person Iowa operation, to an international organization that manufactures agricultural, construction, environmental, and industrial equipment. The Vermeer philosophy strongly reflects the Company's character, which encompasses the solid foundation built from decisions made in the past and planning for the organization's present and future.
