This core belief led us to the decision to create Harris American as the logical next step to leverag- ing the collective experience of the three legacy business- es to provide unprecedented solution capabilities to our recycling and waste industry customers.” D.J. VanDeusen will serve as the President of Harris American, and King said he is confident he will effectively lead the integration of the legacy businesses, building on his success guiding those businesses over the past two years. “With our 350 talented team members and four man- ufacturing locations, we have unprecedented resources for the design, production and support of our best-in-class equipment. We remain committed to the legacy products that have made each of the businesses successful while, at the same time, focused on the future through ongoing product innovation and investment,” VanDeusen says. “Our customers have come to expect an unyielding commitment to delivering superior solutions and service, and our team members have come to expect unmatched opportunities for success. I am excited to see Harris Amer- ican deliver far beyond the expected.” Harris American product lines include single-ram, hor- izontal, two-ram, ferrous and specialty balers; scrap met- al and automobile shear/baler/loggers; and high-volume waste and scrap compactors.
