\tCapitol Heights, MD – R.M. Thornton, a division of Harris Companies, a leading national mechanical contractor, has refreshed its brand and streamlined its name. It is now simply called Harris. This effort unifies and strengthens 19 companies across the country that now use the same name, share resources, capital, efficient processes, smart solutions and a full range of in-house capabilities.*<\/p>\n

\tHarris will continue to offer the same quality work and trusted teams customers expect, while expanding its national reach.<\/p>\n

\tFor Harris CEO Greg Hosch, the rebrand signals both an outward and inward change at Harris. ‘Along with one brand comes a more consistent way of doing business,’ said Hosch. ‘We aim to give our customers more consistency and predictability, along with greater access to our resources across the country.’<\/p>\n

\tAccording to Hosch, the rebrand makes it easier for Harris customers to understand that Harris is one company with shared resources.<\/p>\n

\tThe new logo emphasizes Harris' future-focused mentality, while Harris' commitment to providing creative solutions with a trusted team is reflected in the new tagline, ‘Remarkable people. Remarkable results.’ This language reflects that Harris is a trusted partner that consistently defines excellence by relentlessly challenging itself, the industry, technology and their customers.<\/p>\n

\tHarris combines the strength and stability of a national mechanical contractor with the personal commitment of a local business. As a unified company, Harris offers deep expertise in design and engineering, construction, controls, service, manufacturing and conveyors. Harris reaches across offices to control costs and deliver outstanding results.<\/p>\n

\tA recent win for Harris is the new Las Vegas football stadium for the NFL.<\/p>\n
