Established more than 30 years ago in Queensland, Vermeer Australia has partnered with some of Australia’s largest contractors in the delivery of significant infrastructure projects and supported contractors, municipalities and utilities in the installation, maintenance and renewal of their assets.
Their relationship with Vermeer Corporation began in 1989 when the business became the sole authorised dealer for Queensland, PNG and the Pacific Islands. They acquired the NSW dealership in 1997, with SA and VIC following about 12 months later.
Their leadership and vision instilled a strong customer focus into the business and enabled further expansion. Peter and Ian created strong partnerships with some of Australia’s largest contractors and this has allowed Vermeer Australia to be recognised internationally for consistently ranking number one amongst Vermeer international dealerships worldwide.
In 2015, Vermeer Australia became part of what is known today as RDO Equipment Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of North Dakota-based RDO Equipment. Globally, RDO Equipment is the world’s largest John Deere dealer group. In Australia, the business operates Vermeer Australia, as well the RDO Equipment dealerships that sell and support John Deere construction, forestry, agriculture & turf equipment.
Across Australia, our dealership network proudly employs more than 800 employees across 28 locations in metro and regional Australia and provides an extensive range of premium equipment and after-sales support to service the agricultural, civil, construction, utility, mining, forestry, and natural resource management industries. Our size and breadth means we are able to offer Vermeer Australia customers a range of product, and a level of customer support that is unmatched.
