Vermeer Corporation is in the process of building a new, 300,000 square foot facility in the Des Moines metro, located in Bondurant. It will be home to initially more than 300 jobs related to the manufacture and support of Vermeer industrial parts and equipment — an expansion of their current foot print in the Des Moines metro.

President and CEO of Vermeer Corporation Jason Andringa says the investment supports the growth Vermeer has seen due to increasing customer demand across all markets.

“I’m incredibly proud of this business my grandfather, Gary Vermeer, began 78 years ago and the team doing the work to equip Vermeer customers around the world. While Pella will always be home to our headquarters, the need for Vermeer equipment has continued to grow and the innovation coming from Vermeer requires continued investment both in Pella and beyond. After announcing the launch of our Vermeer Des Moines team just three years ago, we’re excited to further our commitment to our customers, our team, the greater Des Moines metro and the state of Iowa through this investment,” said Jason Andringa, President and CEO and third generation family member.

Vermeer Des Moines operations began spring of 2023, and today, the team of 143 employees works out of 108,000 square feet of space. This facility will include advanced manufacturing tools and practices, a patented air circulation system, and other investments.
