Source: Haas Automation, Inc.
Less than two decades after the company was founded, Haas Automation is the largest machine tool manufacturer in the U.S. Founded in 1983 with the development of the first fully automatic, fully programmable 5C collet indexer, the company's first vertical machining center appeared in 1988. Haas Automation now builds a complete line of CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers, lathes, rotary tables and 5C indexers. Well known in the industry for its top-notch quality at affordable prices, Haas equipment delivers more standard features, high-tech innovations and rock-solid engineering than perhaps any other CNC manufacturer in the world. The company manufactures all critical components in-house, for greater accuracy, repeatability and durability than any other machines on the market.

All products are built in the company's 820,000-square-foot facility in southern California. Extensive investment in state-of-the-art equipment and flexible manufacturing systems has thoroughly streamlined production capabilities, allowing Haas to field an ever-growing line of high-precision CNC products while maintaining value-based pricing. Widespread use of automated loaders and pallet systems allows "lights out" operation for increased productivity and efficiency. Haas currently ships more CNC machines per month than any other U.S. manufacturer.
