Ups and Downs Bring Henkel-Harris to Modern Winchester Plant
Mary Henkel, head of Henkel-Harris Corporation in Winchester, recalls early struggles after starting in 1946 with Carroll Henkel and John Harris. The firm expanded from a 320 Boscawen Street basement operation to an 85,000 square foot plant in 1964 and plans adding 34,000 more feet to boost shipping. The company specializes in cherry or mahogany bedroom and dining furniture made by hand, using global wood supplies and strict quality checks before shipping. Winchester remains the site chosen for its home-base appeal.
