American-Made Value, Uncompromising Quality, Worldwide Service H
aas Automation Inc., is America’s lead- ing manufacturer of CNC machine tools. All Haas products are manufactured in the company’s 1-million-square-foot facility in Southern California, and distributed through a worldwide network of more than 170 Haas
Factory Outlets (HFOs). Every HFO has complete showroom facilities, factory-trained service personal, extensive spare-parts inventories, and fully stocked service vehicles to provide the industry’s best service and support. Gene Haas founded Haas Automation in 1983 to manufacture the industry’s first fully automatic programmable collet
indexer. The Haas 5C indexer was an instant success, and the company quickly expanded its product line to include a wide selection of programmable rotary tables, indexers, and machine tool accessories.
In 1988, Haas Automation achieved another industry milestone by introducing the first American-built vertical machining center (VMC) to sell for less than $50,000—a price unheard of at the time. The Haas VF-1 quickly became the industry bench- mark for affordable CNC technology. Today, Haas Automation manufactures a complete line of CNC vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes and rotary products, as well as 5-axis and mold making machining centers, toolroom machines, and gantry routers. From the start, Haas Automation has provided reliable, affordable machine tool solutions—at published prices—to job shops and contract manufacturers around the world. Extensive use of lean manufacturing methods and just-in-time production practices allows Haas Automation to produce high-precision CNC products while maintaining exacting quality and value-based pricing.
