Manitou Americas Donates Skid Loaders to Local County Organizations

WEST BEND, Wis. (July 25, 2017) — Manitou Americas Inc. delivered two new Gehl skid loaders to support local community businesses. The University of Wisconsin-Washington County and the Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center were excited to receive their new Gehl equipment last week.

According to Jon Etta, regional director of facility planning and management of UW-WC, the Gehl skid loader is “dependable and versatile, allowing staff to maintain the building and grounds – from snow removal in the winter to landscape work in the summer.”

Courtney O’Connel, campus administrator and regional associate dean of student affairs said, “The Gehl skid loader donation and continued support of the Manitou Group is greatly appreciated, especially in this period of reduced budgets.”

Manitou Americas, (former Gehl Co.) has been supporting both of these local community organizations for over a decade.  “With Manitou Americas history in West Bend dating back to 1859, we are honored to be affiliated with these very important local organizations,” said Heidecker.
