Company History and Photo @ Grain Valley Plant.
Today Harmon Industries is the leading supplier of railroad signal, train control, and related equipment for use in the railroad industry. The company is headquartered in Blue Springs, Missouri, and has assembly and manufacturing facilities across the country. My father founded the company which is now Harmon Industries in 1946. Today, Harmon employs more than 1,500 workers in the United States, and had sales of more than $175 million in 1996; the company's stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ national market system.
One of Harmon's assembly facilities is located in Grain Valley, Missouri, which is a rural agricultural area outside Kansas City. The Grain Valley plant assembles circuit boards for use in railroad control and safety equipment.
