About Vermeer

Gary Vermeer founded the company that bears his name in 1948. A farmer based in Pella, Iowa, Vermeer is credited with having invented the wagon hoist, which he manufactured and sold to others in the Pella area who were requesting their own. Vermeer followed the success of the wagon hoist with the development and manufacturing of stump cutters in the 1950s, trenchers in the 1960s, and round balers in the 1970s.
