Van Meter

Van Meter 100% employee-owned, 100% ready to make a difference. Providing everything you need to succeed. Company founders R.L. Van Meter and R.W.

Van Meter's roots are in Cedar Rapids - and they have been since 1928, which is when we first opened our doors. Lemley outfitted Van Meter's headquarters with fluorescent lighting, making it the very first building west of the Mississippi to ever incorporate this technological feature. Today, our headquarters office and service center are situated on the north side of 32nd Avenue while our Central

Distribution Center and sales counter - along with our indoor drive-through service area - are all directly across the street on the south side of 32nd Avenue. Our Cedar Rapids serves as the hub for the 800+ product lines we carry. Nearly everything is in stock; if it isn't, we can get it for you quickly.

Adding some color and encouragement!

We took a break from our sales meeting to add some color and words of encouragement to literacy kits for United Way of East Central Iowa. These will be used to teach and encourage kids to read.

Power control specialist by day. Outdoorsman on the side. Help us congratulate Brad Host on his 20th anniversary today! 🙌

Brad, power control specialist in St. Cloud, is genuine, friendly and willing to help anyone who needs it. He's knowledgeable about his job, knows products and understands how things work.

He also knows a lot about hunting and fishing and loves the outdoors. You might even find him roughing it on a campsite out west in the mountains or the wide open country.

Congrats on 20 years, Brad! 👏

We love supporting the Zach Johnson Foundation Classic each year and the work they do helping Cedar Rapids students pursue educational opportunities through Kids on Course.

This year, we also got paired with John Daly and got to raise a can to celebrate helping animals, veterans and warrior dogs through his partnership with Good Boy Vodka.

Golfing with legends. Making an impact. This is what it's all about!
