"Strong" describes the spirit of the Vermeer employees, and family. I work onsite and will forever be impressed with the disaster management and response immediately after the hit. God had his hand on Vermeer and our community that day. Great video!

So incredibly proud to be a part of the Vermeer Strong Family. Well done everyone

I live in Utah, and had not heard of this tornado or the destruction that it caused. Vermeer has some fine upper management, to truly care about your employees. I'm sorry y'all had to suffer such a terrible thing, but it seems that you are truly "Vermeer Strong". God blessed y'all by protecting human life. May your company move from strength to strength. Great video, I'm happy it popped into my KZbin feed.

All pella businesses are like that. Pella corp/windows headquarters is in the same town and their management for their team members are the same.

Best hay rollers ever made .you.ride around east tennesee an see what alll the big far.ers roll hay with 9 out of 10 use vermeer

[@kevinb.8649]

Wow bunch of execs who’s only worry is how many workers might be dead and finding bodies. How about treating workers like capable people and not just numbers to be counted. Sad actually. Hope this video made them feel better about them selves. Hint don’t treat people specially people who work for you as a number. And sadly that’s what I took away from this pr train wreck.

[@mickeylee1929]

Exact opposite of what you say is the case. This is one of the best examples of preparation and responding to an emergency you will ever find. Kudos to all at Vermeer.

Oh no, how dare people be upset about the potential loss of life of employees, friends, and coworkers.
