Harris Products Group Recognized for Being Named Top U.S. Plant

Mayor David Nichols also passed along his congratulations. “As a former CEO, I know first-hand what a challenge it can be to ensure a company is meeting performance metrics across the board. Harris Products Group, a long-time partner of the City of Mason, didn’t just meet company targets – they broke records, shattered expectations and yielded industry best results to become one of the top 6 plants in North America,” he said. “Congratulations on this tremendous recognition. Not only is this significant for Harris, but also for economic development in Mason and Ohio as it draws attention from Harris customers and supply chain vendors across the U.S.”

An international manufacturer of cutting, welding, brazing and soldering equipment and consumables and gas distribution systems, the Harris Products Group operates two U.S. plants, a distribution and manufacturing facility in City of Industry, CA, and facilities in Europe and Brazil.

The Mason facility manufactures brazing and soldering alloys along with brazing rings and return bends. The alloys are used in the manufacture of OEM products in HVAC/R, transportation and automotive, mining and energy, heavy fabrication and other industries. The products manufactured in Mason are sold in the U.S. and exported to 96 countries.

As part of Friday’s event, Nangle also announced individual recognitions for plant employees for perfect attendance and honored six President’s Award winners for their contributions to the company’s success.

“The accolades we have received this year are only possible because of our team’s commitment to the customer, to high quality and to continuous improvement. These individuals exemplify the qualities of a company performing at its best. For every one being honored today, there are dozens more worthy of recognition,” Nangle said.

The Harris Products Group was named among other renowned companies, including Ethicon, LLC, La-Z-Boy, and Lockheed Martin.
