1909

Ferris Industries započeo je kao Uebler Milking Machine Company.

 

1986

S rastućom industrijom uređenja okoliša, tvrtka je preusmjerila fokus na proizvodnju komercijalnih kosilica. Brend Ferris rođen je s istom predanošću izdržljivim strojevima, građenim da traju, koja je karakterizirala naslijeđe tvrtke.

 

1987

Ferris je predstavio i patentirao prvu samohodnu kosilicu s hidrostatskim pogonom (walk-behind mower). Tvrtka je za ovo revolucionarno otkriće nagrađena prestižnom nagradom za inovaciju od strane Instituta za vanjsku energetsku opremu (OPEI).

1999

Ferris je postao podružnica tvrtke Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc. Tijekom sljedeće godine, Simplicity je demonstrirao svoju predanost tvrtki povećanjem radne snage, dovršetkom proširenja tvornice i ulaganjem resursa u razvoj proizvoda.

 

2000

Ferris je predstavio novu obitelj kosilica s nultim radijusom okretanja (zero-turn mowers) od 48 do 72 inča. Najveći model imao je 4-kotačni I.S. Neovisni Ovjes, čime je potvrđena Ferrisova pozicija u industriji kao Specijalista za Komercijalne Kosilice (Commercial Mower Specialist™).

2004

Simplicity Manufacturing, zajedno sa svojim podružnicama, Ferris, Snapper i Giant-Vac, kupio je Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group. Zbog kontinuiranog uspjeha, proizvodnom pogonu u Munnsvilleu dodana je dodatna kvadratura.
