Gehl Company is an American[1] manufacturer of compact equipment headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin.[2] The main campus in West Bend, built on Script error: No such module "convert"., includes not only the headquarters but also the research and development facilities for the entire enterprise.[3]

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.[2] Gehl was North America's largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery other than tractors, until exiting the agriculture business in 2006.[4] 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.[5]

History

Gehl was founded by Louis Lucas in 1859.[2]

Gehl was acquired in September 2008 for US$30 a share by the French equipment maker Manitou Group.[5] This allowed the company to expand its telehandler market into the US and enter several new equipment markets.[2][6] The company was delisted from NASDAQ under its ticker symbol GEHL.[7]

In 2007, Gehl and the Milwaukee Brewers announced a naming rights deal for a group party club area in Miller Park.[8]
