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.
