9 AUGUST 2023 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Vermeer Expansions Vermeer opened its new 312,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Global Parts Distribution Center to support the important work customers and dealers are performing around the world. Vermeer team members will package and ship parts worldwide from the facility, located on the grounds of the corporate headquarters in Pella, Iowa. The distribution center builds on a legacy of customer support, located at the end of the old runway where company founder Gary Vermeer once delivered parts to customers by plane. Three times more space than the previous building, the new distribution center includes 23 dock doors, a warehouse management system, and improved warehouse technology. The investment will help drive efficiency by centralizing parts storage. “Vermeer is focused on optimizing this facility so we can most efficiently deliver the right part at the right time to our customers. This facility allows customer support, engineering, procurement, and logistics to be colocated. They work in conjunction with our operational team members to make sure we fulfill customer and dealer expectations daily,” said Tony Briggs, vice president of the Vermeer Lifecycle product group. This is the second facility Vermeer has opened in 2023. Earlier this year, the company expanded its parts manufacturing footprint in Des Moines, Iowa, which produces horizontal directional drill tooling and utility tractor attachments.

UTILITY AND PIPELINE CONTRACTORS STS’s proprietary “Four-Point Shearing System” solves the problem of fast mixing fully sheared bentonite slurry, mixes a thousand gallons of fully yielded bentonite or drilling fluid in less than 15 minutes. This ensures the contractor can mix one batch at the start of the day and it will stay fully mixed, ready for use, until drained. DIAMOND CORE DRILLERS - MINING EXPLORATION Our mixers and cleaners mix polymers and bentonite and enable the recycling of diamond drilling fluids for use again at least twice by removing small particle cuttings. This cuts fluid use and water consumption by more than half. CONTRACTORS WORKING INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES & MAINTENANCE This system uses a high shearing flail system to mix our solidification powders to quickly solidify the liquid slurry at high rates. This helps your work in infrastructure and infrastructure upgrades, by making your job simpler, faster, easier, and less expensive. Liquids don’t need to leave the site!
