We are proud to introduce you to the Harris American Company!
Avis Industrial Corporation has long held a presence in the recycling, scrap and solid waste industries beginning with the acquisition of American Baler in 1979. Over the subsequent years, we added Harris Equipment and International Baler to the portfolio and, in 2023, formed the Recycling & Waste Equipment Division to more closely align these three businesses. By allowing us to leverage the power of more than 295 years of collective business success, this decision further entrenched Avis Industrial as one of the largest suppliers of compaction, baling and size reduction equipment in the world.
Avis Industrial is a private holding company focused on long-term growth, value creation and the continuous elevation of manufacturing capabilities across our portfolio. We believe that ongoing investment in our people, products and facilities is vital for achieving these goals. This core belief led us to the decision to formally integrate American Baler, Harris Equipment and International Baler into a single business unit: the Harris American Company.
The combined company has unprecedented resources for designing, manufacturing and supporting best-in-class machinery. With four facilities, each with advanced manufacturing capabilities, and 350 dedicated team members, Harris American is uniquely positioned to serve our customers across North America and the world. We remain committed to the legacy product lines that have made each of the businesses successful while, at the same time, focusing on the future through ongoing product innovation and investment.
Our Mission
Built on the legacies of three respected companies, Harris American is driven by our promise to provide proven craftsmanship, trusted services, and forward-thinking innovations for the recycling and waste industry.
