FairbanksMorse

FairbanksMorse is a company with a long history in American manufacturing, primarily known for its diesel engines and marine propulsion systems. The company was founded through the merger of E. and T. Fairbanks and Company, a scale manufacturer, and the Morse Chain Company, a producer of power transmission products. This merger occurred in 1916. Over the decades, FairbanksMorse became a significant supplier to the U.S. Navy, particularly for its submarines, and also produced engines for locomotives and industrial applications. The company's engines are recognized for their robust design and reliability. While the original FairbanksMorse entity has undergone various ownership changes and restructurings throughout its history, the FairbanksMorse brand continues to exist today, focusing on critical power generation and marine solutions. Its legacy is tied to periods of significant industrial growth and defense production in the United States.
