Vermeer Texas-Louisiana hosted a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 15, 2026, for its newest location in Weatherford, Texas, marking the company's continued expansion across North Texas.
The event brought together employees, customers, community members and representatives from Vermeer Corp. to celebrate the opening of the dealership's 15th location. Attendees toured the new facility, viewed equipment and connected with staff during the open house.
According to Whit Perryman, CEO of Vermeer Texas-Louisiana, the new Weatherford branch reflects the company's ongoing focus on improving access and support for customers across the region.
"This is our 15th location, and it's really about how we can better serve our customers and support their growth and their businesses," Perryman said. "Being closer to where our customers are working allows us to respond faster and be more involved in what they're doing day to day."
The Weatherford facility is positioned to support a wide range of industries, particularly underground utility work. Perryman noted that Vermeer equipment plays a role in essential infrastructure projects, including water, sewer, gas, telecommunications and fiber installation.
The dealership also serves customers in landscaping and land-clearing applications, offering equipment such as brush chippers and stump cutters, as well as horizontal directional drills used in pipeline and utility installation.
The grand opening highlighted Vermeer Texas-Louisiana's recent recognition as a "Pinnacle" dealer by Vermeer, an honor awarded to top-performing dealerships based on operational excellence and customer support.
"It's a reflection of the work our entire team puts in every day," Perryman said. "There's a lot that happens behind the scenes, and it takes all of our people to deliver that level of service."
Representatives from Vermeer attended the event to recognize the achievement and reinforce the long-standing partnership between the manufacturer and the dealership group, which dates back decades.
In addition to improving customer access, the new location creates opportunities within the community. Perryman emphasized the importance of hiring locally and establishing a presence where customers are actively working.
"This allows us to bring jobs into the community and build a team right here," Perryman said. "We could centralize everything somewhere else, but that's not how you take care of customers. You have to be where they are."
The new facility in Weatherford represents another step in Vermeer Texas-Louisiana's continued growth, reinforcing its commitment to supporting contractors with equipment, service and local access across North Texas. CEG
