With roots dating back to 1859, Gehl Company is a producer of high quality capital goods. It has targeted two principal market sectors worldwide with its equipment: agriculture and light industrial construction applications .It has growing market positions in each of these two large industries -- one essential to the world's food supply and the other to its transportation and shelter needs.
Gehl has been producing agriculture implements for nearly 150 years. Today, it is the leading non-tractor manufacturer of agricultural equipment in North America, offering a broad line of implements for the farm equipment industry.
In 1986, Gehl aggressively moved into the light construction equipment market as it established a separate construction sales division. Gehl serves small contractors, sub-contractors and owner-operators with dirt, lifting and paving equipment.
While Gehl has had a presence in international markets for over 50 years, in 1991 it focused its efforts through one group; Gehl International. Gehl International was formed to tap growing worldwide opportunities.
Today, Gehl Company continues to expand distribution, attacking target markets for both agricultural and construction equipment. Gehl International is committed to providing its dealers, distributors and their customers with the same reliable products and services that have made Gehl a successful North American manufacturer for well over a century.
COMPACT EQUIPMENT EXPANSION
Today, Gehl Company offers a diversified line of compact equipment for the construction and agriculture markets, including skid loaders, telescopic handlers, compact excavators, compact track loaders, all-wheel-steer loaders, compact utility loaders, and asphalt pavers.
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
State-of-the-art Tanaka and Mazak cutting machines were added to increase in-house production. Robotic welders are continually added for more precise automated production, reducing costs. A new addition to the Yankton, South Dakota plant adds 49,200 sq. ft. for a total of 178,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space.
MISSION STATEMENT
