Fairchild Equipment opens larger premises

Milwaukee, WI, United States

Materials handling and storage solutions provider Fairchild Equipment, has officially opened its new premises in Milwaukee as part of its “strategic relocation”.

The company previously operated from two separate buildings in Menomonee Falls but now works from one, significantly larger, facility designed to support rapid company growth and enhanced service capabilities.

Fairchild Equipment says the move represents a major investment in the company’s future, offering more than triple the size of the previous two locations combined.

“We simply outgrew our previous footprint in Menomonee Falls,” Fairchild Equipment branch manager Tim Henneman says.

“Consolidating into this larger, renovated facility allows us to scale our operations significantly and create a better environment for our employees, which is central to our commitment to being an Employer of Choice. 

“This move is not just about adding more square footage; it is about positioning ourselves to provide faster service, better availability, and a higher level of support to our customers.”

The new site features dedicated office space and sets the stage for plans to add a specialised Customer Experience Center within the building. This will provide a hands-on environment where clients can test equipment in storage applications that mirror their own facilities.
