Harbison Fischer Sales

Welcome to Harbison-Fischer

While the Great Depression of the 1930's marked hard times for many, it proved to be a period of opportunity for Dixon T. Harbison and Charles A. Fischer. It was during that decade the two men pooled their extensive knowledge and backgrounds in the oil tool and steel industries and began the manufacture and sale of a line of oil well pumping equipment.

Harbison-Fischer Manufacturing Company was founded and began operation in March of 1933 with a furnace, belt-drive machines and a Cadillac motor to turn the lathes. Dick Harbison's penchant for manufacturing precision inspired a comprehensive quality control system, assuring Harbison-Fischer customers of exacting performance standards, while Charles Fischer's sales calls in the oil fields of Texas sold the oilmen on the superior workmanship and economic benefits of Harbison-Fischer's efficient, dependable equipment.
