Fairchild Equipment<\/a> has opened a new location in Rockford, Illinois.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings us closer to some of our larger customers in our Illinois region which will greatly reduce delivery costs for them,\u201d said Van Clarkson, president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe area of Illinois from Rockford down to Rochelle has also seen significant growth in distribution due to its proximity to several major interstates and intermodal rail.\u00a0This better positions us to serve this important market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new facility, which is located off of Highway 20\u00a0and Kishwaukee Street at\u00a0597 Grable Street\u00a0in Rockford, is now home to a growing team and replaces Fairchild Equipment<\/a>\u2019s Beloit location at 755 E Philhower Road. The new Rockford branch offers triple the space, enabling Fairchild<\/a> to add shop technicians, plus provide additional office space for service writers, customer care and sales teams to support customers.<\/p>\n
