Vermeer Corporation

At the heart of Vermeer Corporation is a deeply ingrained culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and a commitment to making a tangible impact on the world. This legacy began in 1948 with founder Gary Vermeer, a farmer who sought better ways to get work done. His inventive spirit led to the creation of a mechanical wagon hoist, and from that single invention, a global manufacturing powerhouse was born. Now in its third generation of family leadership, the company continues to be guided by the principles established by its founder, encapsulated in the '4P Philosophy' — Principles, People, Product, and Profit. This philosophy underscores a belief in putting others first, building the highest quality equipment, and giving back to the communities where team members live and work. This isn't just a business; it's a family legacy dedicated to serving customers and empowering them to do more.

The culture at Vermeer is one of rolling up your sleeves and digging in. With a team of nearly 4,000 members worldwide, there's a shared passion for designing, building, and supporting the iconic 'yellow iron' that is a common sight on industrial jobsites and farm fields across the globe. This equipment is crucial for a variety of sectors, including underground construction, surface mining, tree care, environmental management, and agriculture. The company's mission is to equip customers to connect people to the necessities of life, manage natural resources, and feed and fuel communities. This mission drives a relentless pursuit of innovation, from inventing the first large round hay baler to developing cutting-edge trenchless boring equipment. The spirit of finding a need and building a solution is alive and well, ensuring that Vermeer remains at the forefront of the industries it serves, always striving to provide customers with the tools they need to tackle tough challenges and progress their businesses.
