HARRIS CALORIFIC Co., a pioneer in the production of gas welding and cutting apparatus, was founded by John Harris, who discovered the oxyacetylene method of cutting and welding equipment in 1899 while conducting research on the manufacture of synthetic rubies.

After exhibiting his cutting torch at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, he established the company in a small shop on Cleveland’s west side in 1905. Harris continued to refine its gas torches and began to produce related accessories such as gas regulators. After World War II, the company found new markets for its products in research laboratories and aircraft.

In 2006 the Harris Calorific, Inc. and J.W. Harris Company were merged together to form The Harris Products Group. This integration supported the combining of consumables and equipment for welding, cutting, brazing and soldering for our customer base. Included in the J.W. Harris acquisition was Autobraze, a manufacturer of precision brazing rings and return bends utilized in the HVAC industry. The Harris Products Group includes…
