The company was started by Paul Zimmerer and his sons, Art and Bernie, who were co-owners.
The celebration drew more than 300 current and former employees from Lindsay and Omaha who gathered for a catered meal, laughs and stories about how the company has grown from a dream to a worldwide corporation.
Speakers Benton Visser, plant manager; Tim Hassinger, CEO and chairman of the board of directors; Jason Parker, director of North American sales; Nebraska Lt. Gov. Mike Foley; and Greg Oswald, vice president of global manufacturing, all heaped praise on the company’s humble beginnings, its role in the world today and the employees who made it all possible.
