About Us · Est. 1885

140 years of building what industry needs.

Founded in 1885, Harris Thermal Transfer Products is an ASME-certified industrial fabricator serving clients worldwide — designing, manufacturing, and repairing custom thermal process equipment.

Our Heritage

From Harris Ice Machine Works to global fabricator.

For more than 140 years, Harris Thermal has proudly manufactured equipment in the United States. Originally founded as Harris Ice Machine Works, the company built ammonia-refrigeration equipment before transitioning during the world war era into custom thermal process equipment — first supporting the United States' war efforts, then the rapid expansion of American manufacturing.

That spirit of innovation carries forward today. We build some of the largest custom vessels in the industry — over 500,000 pounds — and ship equipment to clients around the globe. This heritage proves our ability to adapt, endure, and deliver value for generations of customers.
