Fairchild Equipment, a provider of materials handling and storage solutions, celebrated the grand opening of its new Moorhead, Minnesota branch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 25, 2026. Located at 1921 26th Street South, the new facility marks a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth and commitment to serving businesses throughout northwestern Minnesota and North Dakota.
The event brought together industry professionals, community leaders, and employees to recognize the company’s growth and long-term vision. Speakers at the event included Jessie Schell, Ambassador at the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce; Stacia Sytsma, Executive Director of the Greater Moorhead Business Association; Van Clarkson, President of Fairchild Equipment; and Chad Fairchild, CEO of Fairchild Equipment.
“At Fairchild Equipment, one of our core values is being actively involved in the communities we serve,” said Van Clarkson, President of Fairchild Equipment. “From the moment we acquired this facility, we looked for ways to make a positive impact, including donating the building’s industrial freezer through the Great Plains Food Bank to benefit an underserved community in North Dakota. As we continue to grow in the Fargo-Moorhead area, our commitment extends beyond doing business. We are dedicated to being a trusted community partner and contributing to the region’s long-term success.”
The new Moorhead branch is equipped to provide an extensive parts inventory, in-house shop service, on-site repairs, and rental equipment, offering businesses in the Fargo-Moorhead region and throughout northwestern Minnesota and North Dakota a local, full-service material handling resource backed by more than 40 years of industry expertise. The new branch marks Fairchild Equipment’s fourth Minnesota location and comes as the company celebrates 25 years of serving customers throughout the state.
