They have two goals moving forward. First, recover safely and recover completely. This means we return to full production as soon as possible. Second, Vermeer wants to get their team members back to work quickly. 

Hundt noted that they were amazed by the many voices of support. “To our international and regional offices, dealer partners, customers, the Pella and regional community – individuals and businesses, state officials in both Des Moines and Washington D.C., industry partners, churches and other non-profit organizations, thank you.” says Hundt.
