Gehl Company is an American[2] manufacturer of compact equipment headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin.[3] The main campus in West Bend, built on 37 acres (15 ha), includes not only the headquarters but also the research and development facilities for the entire enterprise.[4]
Product lines
The Gehl product lines, including skid steer loaders, track loaders, articulated loaders, asphalt pavers, compact excavators, and telescopic handlers, are used worldwide in construction and agricultural markets.[3] Gehl is North America's largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery other than tractors.[5] The Gehl Company owns the rights to manufacture Mustang skid steer loaders, and previously distributed Takeuchi Compact Track Loaders under the names Gehl and Mustang.[6]
History
Gehl was founded by Louis Lucas in 1859.[3]
Gehl was acquired in September 2008 for US$30 a share by the French equipment maker Manitou Group.[6] This allowed the company to expand its telehandler market into the US and enter several new equipment markets.[3][7] The company was delisted from NASDAQ under its ticker symbol GEHL.[citation needed]
In 2007, Gehl and the Milwaukee Brewers announced a naming rights deal for a group party club area in Miller Park.[8]
