The acquisition of the Eclipse Windmill Co. and the Williams Engine Works in 1885 was the start of Fairbanks Morse Engine. 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 premiere manufacturer of innovative diesel and dual-fuel engines for marine and stationary power applications. Fairbanks Morse Engine's environmentally friendly Enviro-Design®, FM/ALCO, Colt-Pielstick, and FM MAN engines can meet EPA Tier II emission guidelines today and will be positioned to meet future Tier IV requirements in 2011.
