Founded by Chip Burnham and Brian Kent, Fairmont’s goal is to identify the most advanced fabrication technologies in the world and bring them to manufacturers across the United States.
They operate as a nationwide machine tool distributor, offering a full line of fabrication equipment. But technology alone has little value if it isn’t running. That’s why every machine is backed by the renowned Fairmont Greenlight Service™, ensuring performance, uptime, and long-term reliability. Talk to Fairmont customers and they’ll tell you the joys of calling a hotline where an expert immediately picks up the phone and solves their problem, with any needed parts arriving next day.
Fairmont Machinery was selected in 2018 as Eagle Laser’s exclusive U.S. dealer, at a time when Eagle had just six systems installed in the country. Over the next years, Fairmont helped built one of the largest installed bases of advanced fiber lasers in North America.
They were the first company to install 15kW, 20kW and 30kW fiber lasers in the US – becoming Eagle’s largest global distributor in just two years. Today, Fairmont remains an industry leader in high-power cutting, representing their own line of flat and tube lasers designed and built to their own specifications – the Revolution Series.
Through the Years
In 2021, Brent Green (VP Service and Chief Operating Officer) created what has become
Fairmont’s defining advantage: Fairmont GreenLight Service™.
It includes an industry-leading hotline call center that answers more than 92 percent of incoming calls with a senior technician ready to begin working immediately, Fairmont Overwatch Camera DVR™, a local (non-cloud) high-definition camera system that records machine activity and allows instant troubleshooting, and powerful remote diagnostics that often solve problems without a site visit. When on-site service is required, Fairmont responds quickly thanks to the best service engineer–to–machine ratio in the industry, with fewer than 15 machines per service engineer, all supported by a massive in-stock parts inventory.
Beginning in 2024, Fairmont expanded beyond laser cutting to offer a broader range of cutting-edge fabrication solutions. These include Fairmont VisiWeld AI, intelligent robotic welding with vision and adaptive control; NS Deburring Equipment, designed specifically for edge rounding and deburring laser- and plasma-cut parts; and Rico Press Brakes, widely regarded as the strongest and most accurate hydraulic and electric press brakes available, including custom robotic press brake cells.
Each product line was chosen using the same criteria Fairmont has always applied: best-in-class performance, long-term reliability, and real support.
