Wacker Neuson Ends Gehl Contract

Effective Dec. 31, 2011, Wacker Neuson, manufacturer of light and compact equipment, ended its long-standing agreement with Gehl Corp., West Bend, Wis. Wacker Neuson has been the exclusive manufacturer of Gehl- and Mustang-branded compact excavators and all wheel steer loaders since 1999.

Christopher Barnard, president and CEO of Wacker Neuson Corp. states: “The termination of the Gehl contract is consistent with our strategy in North America to focus resources and products on the further development of the Wacker Neuson brand for its unique and extensive combined product offering of Compact Equipment as well as Light Equipment. This increased focus on this broad product range will enhance our ability to better support Wacker Neuson’s extensive North American distribution system."

Since 2008, Wacker Neuson’s compact excavators, articulated wheel loaders, all wheel steer wheel loaders and dumpers have been offered through an extensive and growing network of Wacker Neuson independent dealers.
