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]
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 was North America's largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery other than tractors, until exiting the agriculture business in 2006. [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]
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. [8]
In 2007, Gehl and the Milwaukee Brewers announced a naming rights deal for a group party club area in Miller Park. [9]
