Designed to increase production in Gene's own machine shop, the Haas 5C indexer was an instant success. In 1988, Haas Automation achieved another industry milestone by introducing the first American-built vertical machining center (VMC) to sell for less than $50,000—a price unheard of at the time. The Haas VF-1 sold for a published price of $49,900, and quickly became the industry benchmark for affordable CNC technology. Thirty years later, the Haas VF-1 still sells for less than $50,000, and Haas Automation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of CNC machine tools, with an impressive lineup of more than 100 different products. Prices for all machines and options are published online for all to see—something no other machine tool builder can claim. All Haas products are manufactured in the company's 1-million-square-foot facility in Southern California, and distributed through a worldwide network of more than 170 Haas Factory WEBSITE Outlets (HFOs). Each HFO has complete showroom facilities, factory-trained service personnel, extensive spare-parts inventories, and fully stocked service vehicles to provide the industry's best service and support. From the start, Haas Automation has provided reliable, affordable machine tool solutions to job shops and contract manufacturers around the world. Extensive use of lean manufacturing methods and just-in-time production practices allows Haas Automation to produce high-precision CNC products, while maintaining exacting quality and value-based pricing. At present, there are more than 140,000 Haas CNC machines and 60,000 Haas rotary products in use around the world. In 2013, Haas Automation will build roughly 14,000 machines, with around 60 percent of them going to international markets.
