Fairbank Equipment, a provider of agricultural product applications and propane products and equipment, has opened a new location in Grain Valley, Missouri.

A grand opening was hosted at the new location in March. It brought more than 50 attendees on-site and included refreshments, prizes and a raffle. Attendees could meet Justin Moore, the location’s branch manager.

“Fairbank is excited for the opportunities that lie ahead in Missouri,” Moore says. “With 75 years of industry experience, this facility in Grain Valley will help us better serve our customers across Missouri who depend on our quality equipment, product knowledge and exceptional customer service.”

The location will serve local farming communities throughout the area, as well as western Missouri and eastern Kansas agriculture and propane operations.

“Fairbank will do whatever it takes to help our customers get the job done, and opening the Grain Valley location is an extension of that commitment,” says CEO Joel Edwards. “We want to have a positive impact on the communities we operate in, and this new location will help us propel the region’s agricultural industry forward. In addition, it provides a solid base for next-day shipping capabilities to customers in Arkansas, Iowa and Illinois.”

Founded in 1946, Fairbank Equipment was started by Joe Fairbank. The company has continued to expand in the Midwest and western U.S. Grain Valley is the company’s ninth location, expanding its services in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Idaho, Washington and Missouri. The company offers brands such as Banjo, TeeJet, Hypro, Ace, Raven, Hannay Reels, Newton Crouch, Brehmer, John Blue, Duo-Lift and RegO.
