Our History

In 1939, Bill Gempler started selling tires to the folks around Monroe, WI. His friendly service help him grow the business for many decades. When the farm crisis hit in the early 80s, Gemplers started a small mail order catalog selling tire repair kits and tools to help the financially strapped farmers save some money and time. The service was very popular, and soon Gemplers was offering safety gear, gloves and supplies for farmers and other hardworking folks. By the 90s, Gempler's had a large catalog of products sold nationwide. Today, owner Carl Atwell carries on the legacy of Bill Gempler with friendly and knowledgable service in a family-owned, big box defying company you can trust.

A note from our owner, Carl

Somebody brighter than me once said, “we are all just stewards.” Our role is to take our gifts and resources and do good with them. I feel very fortunate to help steward an 84-year-old company whose heritage is in helping hardworking folks. Our hope is we can make a difference in the lives of employees, customers, partners and the community. If you have thoughts on what we can do better or any feedback at all, please let me know.

"Just a short note to tell you of a fantastic experience I had while placing an order with Shea. I'm from Estacada, OR, the order I placed was small but she treated me as though I had placed the largest order of the day. Shea understands customer service, I appreciate her patience very much. So impressive!" – Dan Kaufman


"I placed an order with Gemplers this morning and I wanted to let you know that Heather and Nancy represent you VERY WELL! They were informative and went out of their way to help me. It was much appreciated, if I owned my own business I would hire them away from you." – Will Mitchell
