Inscription. Before 1993, this area of land was covered by miscellaneous storage for large parts and finished products. Parts and service needs were managed by each individual area of the business throughout the plants.

Considering the complexity of our plants and product lines, we saw the need for a more connected system. So, in 1993, the Parts Distribution Center was built. Today, this team handles parts and service, technical publications like operator's and service manuals, and paint storage. Here, more than 170 team members work three shifts to ship quality Vermeer parts to our distribution network of more than 600 entrepreneurial dealers around the world.

Also in this facility is the Vermeer Health Center for team members and their families. Feeling fine isn't enough. We want team members to feel their best. Our onsite primary care clinic and pharmacy help team members maintain their goals and live whole, healthy lives.
 
Erected 2022 by Vermeer Corporation.
