Gehl Company is a United States-based corporation headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin, USA. Founded by Louis Lucas in 1859, Gehl is a manufacturer of heavy equipment used worldwide in construction and agricultural markets. Their product line includes skid steer loaders, as well as asphalt pavers, compact excavators and telehandlers.[2] Gehl is also North America's largest non-tractor maker of agricultural machinery. [3] The Gehl Company also owns the rights to manufacture Mustang skid steer loaders, and distributes Takeuchi Compact Track Loaders under the names Gehl and Mustang. Source: reasonably astute observer Gehl was acquired in September 2008 for $30 a share by the French equipment maker Manitou.[4] This allows the company to expand its telehandler market into the US and enter several new equipment markets.[2][5] The company was delisted from NASDAQ under its ticker symbol GEHL.
