Company Profile: Haas
Here at Machinery Marketing International, we have big respect for Haas. As one of the top machine tools manufacturers in the world, they produce some of our favorite work pieces – from the smallest Haas mini mills and lathes to the gargantuan VF-12 vertical machining center.
A Bit of History
Haas was founded in 1983, but didn’t develop its first vertical machining center until 1987. Called the VF-1, it was introduced into the market at prices comparable to overseas companies – something many were initially skeptical about. The Haas VF-1 is still on the market today, and still comes at a price under $50,000.

Although Haas started with limited local distribution in Southern California, the company eventually expanded into U.S., Canadian and British markets. Its first overseas markets were Denmark, Holland, and Israel, and in 1993, Haas entered a partnership with Swiss machine tool builder Mikron, providing additional distribution to the European market.
In 1997, Haas moved to its current purpose-built, 1 million-plus square foot facilities in Oxnard, California. Haas distributes worldwide through its network of Haas Factory Outlets. Still one of the largest machine tool manufacturers in the world, Haas produces a variety of machining systems, including CNC lathes, CNC vertical machining centers, CNC horizontal machining centers, rotaries tables, and indexers.
