H & R Machine, Inc. opened its doors as a machine job shop under the direction of founder, Joe Harville, in Giddings, Texas on February 14, 1982.

Joe was born in Yazoo, Mississippi November 29, 1945, but lived most of his life in Odessa, Texas. He married Barbara Stover, also from Odessa, in 1965 and they raised three sons, Johnny, Leonard, and Joseph aka Kiley. Joe's work background was primarily as a machinist. he brought his family to Giddings, Texas in 1980 and as a family they set their sights and desires toward opening a machining facility to serve the oil and gas industry, while raising their children in a small town environment.

Since H & R machine's inception in 1982, Barbara began the bookkeeping responsibilities for the company and she currently serves as Administrator.

As the years rolled by, the children were grown, educated and started families of their own. Having literally assisted their Mom and Dad from the very beginning, they each have an endearing kinship for H & R Machine. Thus, each have committed as employees of the corporation uniquely in their field to share the leadership, growing pains and responsibilities of a growing company.

We entered into natural gas engine service work and engine overhauls in 1985, servicing primarily gas compressor engines and compressors.
