About

Troy Alwin

President

Troy Alwin’s journey in the industry began in 1989 when he joined Fadal Machining Centers at their Illinois distributor, Advanced Machinery Sales (AMS). Rapidly rising through the ranks, Troy became the premier service technician for Fadal. His expertise allowed him to seamlessly transition as distributors evolved, eventually leading him to work directly for Fadal. After being sold by its founders to Giddings & Lewis in 1995, the Fadal name has changed hands numerous times through a series of mergers and acquisitions. In 2009, when machine production ceased, Troy, and his wife Christy, took the initiative to establish Alwin Machinery Inc, ensuring continuous support for the multitude of machines in the Illinois and Wisconsin market. This family owned company has a rich history rooted in expertise, dedication, and a commitment to delivering top-notch service.

Troy’s commitment to the Fadal legacy remained unwavering, and in 2014, when Merrill Technology Group acquired the rights to the Fadal name and began manufacturing new Fadal machines again, Troy became the exclusive distributor for Illinois and Wisconsin, giving birth to Alwin Machinery Sales. Over the years, Alwin Machinery Sales has grown alongside the Fadal Machine tool line. In 2024, Troy and Alwin Machinery Sales acquired Fadal, marking a significant milestone in their journey. The Alwin Family, much like the original founders of Fadal, the DeCaussin family, uphold a tradition of high integrity and steadfast commitment to their products. The company prides itself on standing firmly behind its machinery, ensuring the satisfaction and success of its clients.
