Company History
Fairbanks Morse History
In 1830, Thaddeus Fairbanks invented the first platform balance scale and opened a business with his brother, Erastus. Charles Morse joined the company in 1850, and by 1865, the first branch to be known as Fairbanks, Morse and Company was established. Over the years, Fairbanks Morse Engine has manufactured a wide array of products including radios, washing machines, power mowers, water heaters, water softeners, air conditioners, and storage batteries. Fairbanks Morse Engine was the first company to successfully market a gasoline engine in the United States in 1893. Today, our focus is to manufacture diesel and dual-fuel engines and to provide outstanding aftermarket product support. Our heritage is rich with technology innovations and an extensive line of efficient, long-life engine designs. The Opposed Piston engine was developed in the mid-1930s and was initially used to power submarines and locomotives. Because of the outstanding reliability derived from the design, Opposed Piston engines are still in service on U.S. Navy ships, in electric power plants, and in numerous mechanical drive applications.
Today, Fairbanks Morse Engine is the premier manufacturer of innovative fuel-flexible power systems for marine and stationary power applications. Fairbanks Morse Engine's Opposed-Piston, FM/ALCO, Colt-Pielstick, MAN engines provide excellent fuel consumption with low emissions.
