Mission We bring comprehensive weighing products, services and information in a trusted and innovative manner generating value in our partners’ critical operations.
Description For over 180 years, Fairbanks has provided top quality industrial weighing equipment and dependable service through a network of Fairbanks sales and service representatives and authorized distributors.

It all began with two brothers, Thaddeus and Erastus Fairbanks. Thaddeus, full of ideas for inventions, built a foundry in 1823 to manufacture two of his inventions—the cast iron plow and a stove. In 1824, the brothers formed the E&T Fairbanks Company in St. Johnsbury, VT. Once in business together, they realized that the current weighing system yielded inaccurate results. So, Thaddeus decided to invent a new, more dependable weighing machine.

Today, Fairbanks has more than 500 employees nationwide and maintains service centers, authorized distributors and sales offices in 49 states and more than 25 countries. Selling everything from precision and bench scales to heavy capacity truck scales and railroad track scales, Fairbanks continues to stand at the leading edge of weighing technology.
