Our History.
Est. 1957.
Ipswich Mower’s has a rich family history that dates back to the 1950s beginning with Vic Vermeer & starting off as a Sharpening Service, “Vermeer’s Engineering”.
Our journey began with Vic Vermeer, who started sharpening guillotine knifes, tools, handsaws, and hand mower blades after his work during his spare time. At the time, Mining & Hardware Supplies co. in Brisbane Street was the only depot where customers could leave their tools to be sharpened. So, after a while Vic decided to leave his then job at Scott’s Engineering and open a sharpening and repair store in Limestone Street which he named - “Vermeer’s Engineering”.
He then went on to rent a shop on The Terrace, North Ipswich (next to the Strand Hotel) for two pounds a week, operating under the name "Vermeer’s Lawnmower Sales and Service." Working together with his brother-in-law Tom Bowers, Vic started a weekly delivery service to printing presses throughout Brisbane and Ipswich, offering a guillotine knife grinding service along with selling Pace mowers and chainsaws. In 1972, Vermeer’s Lawnmower Sales and Service was renamed to Ipswich Mower & Saw Service PTY LTD. In 1979, Vic took on a well-known German chainsaw brand called STIHL and became the first STIHL dealer in Ipswich.
Where We Are Today
Today, Ipswich Mower and Saw Service continues to thrive as a family-owned and operated business, proudly serving the Ipswich community for over 65 years. Ipswich Mowers is still family-owned and operated by the Vermeer family, with Jon and Karen taking over from Vic and Audrey in 1991. Working alongside them were Jon's brother Jim and their sister Chris.
In 2004, Ipswich Mowers moved to Yamanto and opened a brand new shop front with STIHL, where we have continued to build upon the family business.
