Harris Corporation Fact Sheet Based on these innovations, The Harris Automatic Press Company incorporated on Dec. 23, 1895. The company went on to produce many printing innovations during the early 1900s. By midcentury, the company grew into one of the world's largest and most successful manufacturers of printing equipment under a new name: Harris-Seybold. Harris-Seybold continued to grow and evolve. In 1957, the company merged with Intertype Corporation, a world leader in typesetting equipment. As electronic communication began to rise, Harris-Intertype began its transition into the Space Age.  The company's transformation to a pure electronics business began in 1967 with the addition of broadcasting and microwave communications capabilities. That year, Harris-Intertype acquired Radiation Inc., a manufacturer of space and military technology located in Melbourne, Florida, just south of Cape Canaveral. Radiation was a premier developer of miniaturized electronic tracking and pulse code technologies for America's fledgling space program. The nation's first communication and weather satellites—and the military's various missile systems—used its products. Radiation products were also used in the first manned space flights and the Apollo missions to the moon. In 1974, the company changed its name to Harris Corporation. Four years later, Harris moved its headquarters from Cleveland, Ohio, to Melbourne. By the time of its centennial celebration in 1995, Harris had emerged as a global company serving a broad base of communications and information technology markets. In 2015, the company acquired Exelis. The acquisition transformed Harris into a company with greater scale, capabilities, core franchises and a more balanced business portfolio.
