Foundry Expansion

Gehl’s roots go back to 1859, when Louis Lucas started a blacksmith shop and foundry in West Bend, Wisconsin, to supply local growers with farm implements and machinery. In 1889, Lucas Foundry released the Hexelbank Ensilage Cutter, an $11.50 machine that Gehl says revolutionized the way farmers created food for their livestock. A year later, Charles Siberzahn purchased Lucas Foundry and renamed it Siberzahn Manufacturing Company.

John Gehl bought that company in 1902 with two business partners, and four years later, his three brothers joined him to create Gehl Brothers Manufacturing. Early products included a silo filler, manure spreaders, and a forage harvester introduced in 1942. After becoming Gehl Company in 1967, Gehl began manufacturing skid steers in the early 1970s. The company’s acquisition of Mustang Manufacturing Company in 1997 gave Gehl a stronger footing in the market. Prior to becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Manitou Group in 2008, Gehl partnered with Manitou in 2004 in a deal that saw the companies distributing select models from each other’s telehandler lineups.
