With continued growth in customer demand for their machinery, Harris, a division of Avis Industrial, has announced the expansion of the company’s advanced machine shop in Cordele, Georgia.
The expansion encompasses the construction of a new machine building, adjacent to the current machine shop, with over 14,000 sq.ft. of new production and training space. The expanded capacity will be home to CNC machining centers for turning, milling, drilling, and shaping, will provide a state-of-the-art environment for the machinists plying their trade, and allow for central meeting and training space for the nearly 150 employees on the Cordele campus.
Harris’ Cordele manufacturing complex is a 130 year old, 22 acre facility served by direct rail access. It encompasses facilities for fabricating, machining, cylinder manufacturing and assembly of Harris’ largest balers and shears as well as the Harris TransPak units.
