Our Company
Our Company Celebrates 70 Years in May
In May 1951, HP Fairfield opened our doors in a modest, homeowner-sized garage right around the corner from where the Skowhegan location is today. We began selling parts for municipal public works and gradually expanded into equipment sales. Almost 70 years later, our company has grown to service all of New England, representing approximately 40 equipment product lines.
Over this span of time, we have met and exceeded our goal to become a strong, successful partner in municipal and contractor equipment, parts, and service. Below are the highlights of where we’ve been over the years.
