Milwaukee, Wisconsin — Fairchild Equipment, a premier provider of materials handling and storage solutions, today announced the official opening of its new facility located at 5500 North Lovers Lane Road. This strategic relocation consolidates the company’s operations from two previous buildings in Menomonee Falls into a single, significantly larger facility designed to support rapid company growth and enhanced service capabilities.
The move to the Milwaukee location represents a major investment in the company’s future, providing a footprint that is more than triple the size of the two previous facilities combined. This expansion allows Fairchild Equipment to streamline its operations by housing its comprehensive inventory and service teams under one roof, ultimately improving efficiency for its teams and their ability to serve customer needs. The new site features a fully equipped shop for on-site equipment service, a large parts inventory, and additional stock of equipment available for immediate rent or sale. The facility is also designed with flexibility to accommodate future acquisitions and continued organic growth.
Tim Henneman, Branch Manager at Fairchild Equipment, stated, “We simply outgrew our previous footprint in Menomonee Falls. 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.”
To further support our growing customer base and commitment to service excellence, Fairchild Equipment plans to add 10 more equipment service technicians this year. The new facility features dedicated office space and sets the stage for plans to add a specialized Customer Experience Center within the building. The Customer Experience Center will provide a hands-on environment where clients can test equipment in storage applications that mirror their own facilities. It will also serve as a resource for businesses looking to visualize storage solution options when building or redesigning their warehouse storage.
“At Fairchild Equipment, we are committed to leading not only within our industry but also in supporting the communities where we live and work,” said Van Clarkson, President of Fairchild Equipment. “Our new Milwaukee facility is designed to foster meaningful connections—helping local businesses thrive and offering valuable resources to our neighbors. We believe in empowering our customers through partnership, innovation, and expertise, principles that have defined us since our founding over four decades ago.”
