Brouwer Celebrates 40th Anniversary
Forty years ago, Gerry Brouwer founded Brouwer Co. Brouwer’s vision changed the industry from cutting sod with a small sod cutter and stacking it onto pallets or trucks by hand to a Brouwer sod harvester that cut sod, transferred it onto a conveyor, rolled it and put the rolls on a pallet – all in one operation. Brouwer’s first sod harvester was manufactured in a shop at Brouwer Sod Farms in 1972. In 1974, Brouwer built a factory in Keswick, Ont., the same location where the equipment is manufactured today. Over the years, Brouwer has developed additional products for the turf industry.
