Company History
Fecon has their roots in forestry mulching, though they’ve also branched into drilling and wood-to-energy equipment. Fecon has grown and expanded product offerings with whole new solutions for biomass removal, but one thing has remained unchanged: Fecon is a company that stands firmly behind its products.
Fecon first started in 1992 in Evendale, Ohio. The company began as a manufacturing operation to meet the needs of the Organic Resource Recovery Industry in North America. In 2004, Fecon moved locations to a state-of-the-art 56,00 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Lebanon, Ohio. In 2008, Fecon expanded its manufacturing operations by an additional 55,000 sq. ft.
Fecon launched the flagship FTX600 mulching tractor in 2011. In March of 2012, Fecon celebrated an impressive 20 years in the industry. They used this anniversary to reflect on their past and future goals, both for the company and for the industry.
In 2014 Fecon acquired an additional 40,000 sq. ft. in manufacturing space. This facility is adjacent to Fecon’s existing factory and offers an area for future expansion. Today, they have a deep and differentiated product line with representatives on every continent. At this milestone in their history, Fecon has proudly supplied the industry with over 7,500 mulcher heads — and counting!
The Fecon Mission
What Fecon has accomplished in the past is a precedent for the future, but they also aim to go above and beyond expectations and create a diversified business that extends their success into new products and innovations. Fecon doesn’t aim to just dominate the industry, they plan to lead it into the future with global recognition.
Between pioneering new technologies for forestry mulching, innovations in vegetation management, and conservation efforts in oil, gas, and other environmental markets, the future has plenty of obstacles for Fecon to continue to overcome.
