Federal Equipment Company, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, designs, manufactures, and integrates systems for defense programs and for commercial helicopter landing operations. As a mid-sized machinery manufacturer with global reach, it combines engineering and production capabilities to tackle complex defense and industrial equipment projects. In 2022, the company became part of Fairbanks Morse Defense, aligning its business with a broader defense-oriented portfolio. Its customer base includes defense contractors and pharmaceutical, biotech, and related sectors seeking laboratory, processing, and manufacturing equipment, often sourced through asset sales and surplus liquidations. The company participates in partnerships and arrangements that facilitate asset disposition, including online auctions and sourcing collaborations with groups such as Proxio Group and Heritage Global Partners. This reflects its role as a conduit for buying and selling used or surplus equipment across its markets.
