Ron and Dianne Gillison, with Ron's father Rodney and with fresh university degrees (Ron from Michigan State in Agriculture, Dianne from Northwestern Michigan College in Business Administration), opened the doors to Gillison's Variety Fabrication in Benzonia, Michigan in 1977. Not long after, engineers from Michigan State asked Ron to build them a newly designed hedger that would offer safer pruning of fruit trees.
Ron adapted a flywheel design he'd seen used on Singer sewing machines for the drive system on the hedger, and thus was born the first GVF custom farm machine.
