Fairbanks Morse Defense, a subsidiary of Arcline Investment Management, is an American manufacturer of engines and other products.

The expansion continued in 2022 with the addition of Federal Equipment Company,[8] Maxim Watermakers,[9] and Research Tool and Die (RT&D).
[10] In October, Fairbanks Morse Defense acquired American Fan,[11] and in 2024, the company purchased Massachusetts-based metalworking supplier Samtan Engineering Corporation.
