Fairchild Communications is proud to share the talents of Jeff Scholl Jr., a

Fairchild Communications technician, with the U.S. Army

Scholl, 20, joined the Army in January 2008 and has been deployed to Mississippi for extensive training.  He will then be serving his country as a Army Specialist in Afghanistan.  He and his wife, Tonya, recently welcomed the birth of their first son, Leon Scholl.

His fellow co-workers appreciate his hard work at home and abroad and wish him a safe and speedy return. But, Scholl will probably be missed most by his father, Jeff Scholl Sr., a Fairchild Communications foreman.

“If I could talk to Jeff  right now, I would tell him that i loved him, that i will see to it that his son will be ok and to be careful,” said Scholl Sr.

LET FREEDOM RING

On any given day throughout the year (when temperatures are not below 40 degrees) you will see parked outside Fairchild Communications…a motorcycle.  But on some days you may see 6 or 7 motorcycles.  What is the driving factor that spurs this desire at Fairchild…It is not the “Drive”, it is the RIDE.

When faced with the numerous personalities of both riders and motorcycles, there may not be a single answer. Despite the differences between the high speed motorbikes, the laid-back chrome-encrusted cruiser, or the very familiar rumble of a well tuned Harley Davidson, there are some universal attributes that get under the skin of the motorcyclist and feed the desire to ride.

From our Systems Engineers and Estimators, to our Project Managers and Sales Representatives the freedom of motorcycling is being enjoyed. But with all great companies, big decisions need to be approved by the President…and since Chuck Fairchild has been riding a Harley since April of 2008, I guess the direction from the top is …….”RIDE”.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Fairchild Communication Systems, Inc. (FCS), a provider and integrator of communication systems moves into a new headquarters. The new office will be located at 3185 N. Shadeland Avenue. in Indianapolis.

According to FCS president, Chuck Fairchild, “This move has been in the works for some time. Since the birth of FCS, space has always been a challenge”. In over 7 years, the company has grown from one man and a van, to over 60 team members, three offices, and more than 25 vehicles.

Long-time team member, Bill Reid said, “ I remember when it used to be just three of us. We had to do everything from sales related activities, to estimating and engineering, and project management. Our customer base is much larger now, and with the kind of customer service Mr. Fairchild promises to provide, it is great to see the team grow to meet this need.”  Fairchild says, “We are definitely taking huge steps to make sure our company stays efficient to meet the needs of our customers. This new headquarters will give us the ability to plan for the future without having to worry about space restraints.”

The new headquarters is scheduled to open on September 2, 2008.
