Charles Harrison formed HARRISON MACHINE CO. in 1939 as a family run machine shop. The first foundry machines were developed in the early 1950’s with the introduction of The Harrison Dual Station Shell Core Machine. A few years later the first in a series of tight and flaskless molding machines were developed to assist foundries with replacing squeezer lines. Harrison has always been the innovator developing the first automated Squeezer replacements and the first Dual Station Core Machines.

In 1998 the new owners started adding the many new standard and optional capabilities our machines currently feature, plus the new N-series Mold Machines. Our mission today is much the same, to design and build robust, highly productive, value oriented machines that are simple to operate and easy to maintain. Over 1,500 Harrison machines in foundries all over the world testify to the consistent achievement of our mission.
