MARIETTA, GA — Vermeer Southeast, an employee-owned company as of January 1, 2019, recently celebrated the grand opening of their new Marietta, Georgia, parts, service and sales facility, expanding from roughly 7,000 square feet to nearly 24,000 square feet of space.

After initially considering a move to another site further outside of metro Atlanta, company leadership made the decision to remain on the current site based on customer feedback.

“Our goal was to always put our customers first by continuing to provide them a convenient location to acquire parts, complete service repairs and serve customer’s needs for new and used equipment,” said Todd Ver Steeg, Vice President at Vermeer Southeast. “With some creative site-planning, we were able to not only expand our facility to accommodate future growth but also substantially increase our parking and equipment areas.”

The original facility on the site was constructed in the early 70s. The new facility now boasts a 6,000-square-foot parts showroom with an additional 7,000 square feet for parts storage, a 9,100-square-foot service area with 10 bays, and a 2,100-square-foot customer and employee training center.

A crowd of over 300 attended the recent grand opening event, with facility tours, equipment demos, vendor displays, live music and barbecue.

A second metro Atlanta facility was also opened in Buford, Georgia, in February 2018, offering customers east of Atlanta more convenient access to parts, service and sales for Vermeer industrial products.
