$13.7 million investment will create 75 new jobs

FAYAT Group (FAYAT), a producer of road equipment, announced it is expanding its Road Equipment Division operations in Fairfield County. The company’s $13.7 million investment will create 75 new jobs.

Founded in France in 1957, FAYAT, through its Road Equipment Division, produces and assembles equipment for all steps of the road lifecycle – asphalt production, application, compaction, road maintenance, sweeping, cold milling, stabilization and recycling – as well as airport vehicles. The expansion will also allow FAYAT to increase its localization of production for road machinery at an existing facility in Fairfield County.

The company operates in 170 countries and has more than 23,000 employees worldwide.

“FAYAT moved its BOMAG North American headquarters to Fairfield County just over 10 years ago to leverage several strategic benefits – being close to port of entry, proximity to an air hub for spare parts distribution, and offering the opportunity for year-round sales and service training – for the purpose of being closer to and better serving our customers, ” said FAYAT Road Equipment Division General Manager Rob Mueckler.

Located at 321 Blue Granite Parkway in Ridgeway, FAYAT will construct a new 100,000-square-foot parts distribution facility to improve its aftersales support for customers throughout North America. Operations are expected to be online in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.
