Business Profile
Exceptional Sales and Service for 70 Years by Sheila Turner-Hilliard Photos courtesy of Karl Niemeyer
We are fortunate to live in an area so rich with both history and local businesses that have stood the test of time. Businesses like The Niemeyer Corporation, which has been a staple of our community for 70 years. Whether you’re in the market for outdoor power equipment or need help getting that snowblower ready for winter weather, head over to Niemeyer’s. Since 1951, the friendly and helpful folks there have been providing the care and expert service that loyal customers have come to know and trust, serving homeowners and commercial businesses in Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. The business is owned and operated by Karl Niemeyer, who took over the family business in 2006. These days, you’ll find Karl, his wife Kathy and two of their children, Joshua and Lindsay, at Niemeyer’s every day, ready to welcome you and provide a superior customer service experience.
Quality care and expert service since 1951
The family business was founded in 1951 by William “Bill” Niemeyer who inherited his father’s entrepreneurial spirit. Bill grew up watching his father own and operate a wholesale bakery business. Located in Philadelphia, that bakery distributed pies, cakes and crackers all over southeastern PA, out west to Lancaster County and eastward to Cape May, NJ. In the spring of 1944, Bill’s father passed away when Bill was just 18 years old. “He had just graduated from high school and then was drafted into the Army to serve in World War II,” said Bill’s son, Karl. “After returning from deployment in Japan, Bill worked for Baldwin Locomotive Works and General Electric (GE) as an apprentice and die maker.” Karl also said that GE was where his dad Bill met his future bride, Eleanor.
