Haas Automation

Put capable CNC machine tools within reach of small and mid-sized shops.

The problem

Precision CNC machining centers were often too expensive for smaller machine shops to justify.

Haas focused on affordable, standardized CNC mills and lathes built in high volume for the broad shop market.

Lower-cost CNC widened access to precision machining for smaller manufacturers.

Haas became one of the largest machine-tool builders in the Western world and a fixture in training shops.
