<strong>Haas</strong> <strong>Automation</strong> Installs 75,000th CNC machine tool.<br />
Story and photos by Matt Bailey<br />
It hardly seems possible, but on May 31, 2007, <strong>Haas</strong> <strong>Automation</strong> installed<br />
its 75,000th CNC machine tool.* When one considers that more than two-<br />
thirds that number have been sold in the last 7 years, and that the company<br />
designs and builds its machines at a single plant in Southern California<br />
employing just 1100 people, it’s even more incredible. And to think that<br />
less than 20 years ago, skeptics the world over doubted that any US<br />
company could ever build machine tools economically again, let alone on<br />
such a scale.<br />
*By the end of 2007, there were 85,000 <strong>Haas</strong> CNC machine tools installed around the world.<br />
