HARSCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REPORT


PART I


Item 1. Business:

(a) Description of Business:

The operations of Harsco Corporation (Harsco or the Company) are
broadly diversified and include products serving thousands of customers
engaged in steel, industrial, commercial, construction and
infrastructure, and defense applications. These operations fall into
three operating Groups: Industrial Services and Building Products,
Engineered Products and Defense. The Company primarily serves its
customers through its own salaried sales forces and independent
manufacturers' representatives, commission agents and distributors.
Harsco utilizes both Company-owned and leased sales offices and
warehouses. There were several significant changes in products,
services, and markets, but not in methods of distribution during the
1993 fiscal year.

In February 1993, the Company purchased certain assets of the Wayne
Corporation, a manufacturer of school buses located in Richmond,
Indiana for approximately $2.1 million. In a defense conversion
activity, production of these school buses was transferred to the
BMY-Wheeled Vehicles Division in Marysville, Ohio, and Wayne Wheeled
Vehicles was formed. Harsco entered into six new contracts for metal
reclamation and specialized steel mill services in Mexico in 1993. In
addition, the Company initiated service at a steelmaking location in
Canada to provide environmental recycling of steel production residual
materials, which is a new service developed through the Company's
research and development efforts. On August 31, the Company completed
the largest acquisition in Harsco's history by purchasing all of the
outstanding capital stock of MultiServ International, N.V., the leading
international provider of specialized steel mill services, for a
consideration of $384 million. MultiServ's operations were combined
with the Company's Heckett Division, and Harsco is now the world leader
in the provision of specialized steel mill services to over 130
locations in 27 countries on six continents.

Harsco acquired Electroforjados Nacionales, S.A. de C.V., a producer of
steel and fiberglass grating products, with annual revenues of about
$10 million, located in Queretaro, Mexico during the fourth quarter.
The Company also restructured and renamed the Patent Scaffolding
Division to Patent Construction Systems Division to better describe the
range of products and to emphasize a wide array of services in the
construction marketplace. In January 1994, Harsco and FMC Corporation
formed a joint venture, United Defense, L.P., by combining the
BMY-Combat Systems Division with FMC's Defense Systems Group. Harsco
obtained a 40% ownership in United Defense, L.P., which expects to
achieve $1 billion in revenues in 1994.

The Company's operations are conducted through 10 divisions, each of
which has its own executive, supervisory and operating personnel. Each
division has general responsibility for its own activities, including
marketing. At the Company's headquarters, an executive management
group, most of whom have been associated with the Company for many
years, manages and provides leadership for business activities. This
management group is responsible for establishing basic Company policy
and strategic direction, especially in the areas of long-range
planning, capital expenditures and finance, and, in addition, makes
available to operating personnel technical assistance in a number of
specialized fields.

(b) Financial Information about Industry Groups:

Financial information concerning Industry Groups is included in Note 12
to the consolidated financial statements of the 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders under Exhibit 13.

(c) Narrative Description of Business:

(1) A narrative description of the businesses by Operating Group
is as follows:


Industrial Services and Building Products

The major product classes in this Group are metal reclamation and
scaffolding, shoring and concrete forming equipment. Other classes
include: slag abrasives, steel mill services, rental of plant
equipment, roofing granules and miscellaneous.

Under metal reclamation the Company provides specialized services to
steel producers worldwide which includes metal reclamation, scrap
handling, cleaning of slag pits, handling of raw material and molten
slag, filling and grading of specified areas and the renting of various
types of plant equipment. Highly specialized recovery and cleaning
equipment, installed and operated on the property of steel producers,
together with standard materials handling equipment, including drag
lines, cranes, bulldozers, tractors, hauling equipment, lifting magnets
and buckets, are employed to reclaim metal. The customer uses this
metal in lieu of steel scrap and makes periodic payments to the Company
based upon the amounts of metal reclaimed. The nonmetallic residual
slag is graded into various sizes at on-site Company-owned processing
facilities and sold commercially. Graded slag is used as an aggregate
material in asphalt paving applications, railroad ballast and building
blocks. The Company also provides in-plant transportation and other
specialized services.

The Company obtained a significant amount of new business in 1993,
including six new contracts in Mexico to provide a variety of services
at mini-mills and large, integrated producers. In Germany, the Company
received a new contract for in-plant transportation services and
expanded the scope of services performed in Holland to include
responsibility for blast furnace and steel slag products. The Heckett
MultiServ Division was established, effective January 1, 1994 and is
the world leader in providing specialized steel mill services to over
130 locations in 27 countries, including Brazil, China, Russia and
Slovakia, spanning six continents. Heckett MultiServ locations account
for some 30 percent of the world's steelmaking capacity.

Slag abrasives and roofing granules are products derived from utility
coal slag and are processed at 15 locations in 12 states. Slag
abrasives are used for industrial surface preparation and cleaning of
bridges, ship hulls and various structures. Roofing granules are sold
to roofing shingle manufacturers.

In research and development activities, the Company continued to test
market a dust suppressant product, designed to improve dusting
conditions during the transfer of abrasives. In another project,
Harsco, in an effort to identify future alternative materials for
colored roofing granules, continued extensive lab testing, including
coloring and weathering exposure. Harsco anticipates that the demand
for slag abrasives will strengthen in 1994 because of increased
activity in the infrastructure repair and rebuild market, particularly
in the Northeast.

The Group's scaffolding, shoring and concrete forming operations
include steel and aluminum support systems that are leased or sold to
customers through a North American network of some 35 branch offices.
The Division was renamed Patent Construction Systems, effective in
December, to better describe the range of products and to emphasize a
wide array of services in the construction marketplace. In addition,
Patent Plant Services, headquartered in New Orleans, was organized to
enhance marketing efforts and long-term scaffolding service contracts
to paper mills, refineries, chemical and petrochemical applications and
power plants. Several large orders were received from refineries in
1993.

During the second half, the Company introduced the Pro 1000 Scaffold
Hoist_, part of the motorized swinging scaffold line, which will be
marketed worldwide.

For 1993, percentages of consolidated net sales of certain product
classes were as follows: metal reclamation, 15%; scaffolding, shoring
and concrete forming equipment, 6%; and five others, including mill
services, rental of plant equipment, roofing granules, slag abrasives
and miscellaneous, 7%


Engineered Products

Major product classes in this Group are gas control and containment,
grating, pipe fittings, process equipment and railway maintenance
equipment. Other classes include composite products, metal
fabrication, wear products and miscellaneous.

Gas containment products include propane tanks, cryogenic equipment,
high pressure cylinders, and composite products, while gas control
products include valves and regulators serving a variety of markets.
The cryogenics facility in Germany achieved ISO 9000 certification
during the first quarter of 1993, which will enhance product quality
and international marketing opportunities.

At the cylinder plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, installation of a
new high-efficiency billet furnace was underway at year-end. During
the fourth quarter of 1993, Harsco formed a long-term commercial
agreement with INFLEX, S.A., a manufacturer of a broad line of
industrial cylinders, including NGV fuel tanks, located in Buenos
Aires, Argentina. Early in 1994, the Division name was changed from
Plant City Steel to Taylor-Wharton Gas Equipment to reflect the
Company's broader strategic objective of continuing to grow this
business through selective international acquisitions in a wide product
range.

Several new proprietary products were brought to market in the gas
control product class in 1993. Production was underway on the
innovative new propane valve for 20-pound cylinders on gas grills in
Canada during the first quarter, and the full program started in
September. A disposable refrigerant valve, developed to meet evolving
environmental market demands, was also introduced, as was a unique
scuba mouthpiece.

The Company's product class of railroad maintenance equipment includes
track machinery, which services private and government-owned railroads
and urban transit systems. This machinery is classified in the
categories of sleeper renewal, spike driving, Hy-Rail, rail grinding,
tamping, ballast maintenance, track renewal, track geometry, utility
vehicle and rail and overload line equipment.

Fairmont Tamper completed work on a Pony Track Renewal System for Japan
Railways East, under a contract valued at over $5 million, which was
delivered in January 1994, and will be used to upgrade railroad track
in that country over a course of 140 kilometers. The Company witnessed
increased demand for products in China and Mexico, which included an
order for over 25 HY-RAIL units, valued at more than $5 million. At
year-end, the backlog was significantly ahead of that at December 31,
1992.

Harsco's diverse product class of process equipment includes these
product lines: heat transfer equipment, mass transfer equipment,
air-cooled heat exchangers, process equipment, protective linings and
wear products, including bar, plate and fabrication, and manganese
products.

Demand for the Thermific boiler, first introduced in 1988, was again at
a record level, paced by the institutional building and retrofit
market. Two new commercial water heaters were brought to market early
in the year, and the lab blender redesign program was completed near
year-end. Plans were underway to achieve ISO 9000 certification for
major lines, which will aid in international marketing. In wear
products, the Company conducted a research and development project to
achieve enhanced weld requirements for product improvement.

Harsco manufactures a varied line of industrial grating products at
numerous plants in North America. The Company produces riveted,
pressure-locked and welded grating in steel and aluminum, used mainly
in industrial flooring applications for power, paper, chemical,
refining and processing applications, among others. The Company also
produces varied products for bridge and decking uses, as well as
fiberglass grating used principally in the process industries.

Production operations at a facility in Canada were phased out late in
1993, although sales and service continue in that country. A
state-of-the-art slitting machine, the most powerful of its type in
this country, was fully operational at the facility in Channelview,
Texas during the first quarter. During the fourth quarter, the Company
completed the acquisition of Electroforjados Nacionales, S.A. de C.V.
(ENSA), a producer of steel and fiberglass grating products located in
Queretaro, Mexico. ENSA, with annual sales of about $10 million, and
the Company's other grating operations were consolidated into the
Queretaro facility. The Division now operates at 13 facilities in
North America.

The Company is a major supplier of pipe fittings for the plumbing,
industrial, hardware and energy industries and produces a variety of
product lines, including forged and stainless steel fittings, conduit
fittings, nipples and couplings. During the first quarter, machinery,
tooling and equipment were installed at the facility in Houston for the
new line of swaged nipples and bull plugs, primarily serving industrial
and energy-related applications, which went on stream during the second
half. Also during the same quarter, production ceased at a plant in
Detroit, but service there is ongoing. The Division headquarters was
relocated to another facility in the metropolitan Columbus, Ohio
region.

For 1993, percentages of consolidated net sales of certain product
classes were as follows: gas control and containment, 13%; grating
products, 6%; pipe fittings, 6%; process equipment, 5%; railway
maintenance equipment, 6%; and four others, including structural
composites, specialty metal fabrications, wear products and
miscellaneous, 4%.


Defense

The Defense Group had two divisions at year-end 1993, which were
BMY-Combat Systems and BMY-Wheeled Vehicles. In 1993, this Group led
the Company in earnings. In January 1994, Harsco and FMC Corporation
completed the joint venture, first announced in December 1992, to
combine the BMY-Combat Systems Division with FMC's Defense Systems
Group. The new partnership, known as United Defense, L.P., was
effective on January 1, 1994 and expects to achieve annual sales of
about $1 billion in 1994. Harsco holds a 40 percent ownership in
United Defense, L.P., and FMC will manage the business.

United Defense, L.P. produces tracked vehicles, including
self-propelled howitzers, ammunition resupply units, military
earthmovers and battle tank recovery vehicles for the U.S. Government
and several international customers. Research and development programs
are also performed, and United Defense, L.P. is a coproducer of tracked
vehicles with the Republic of Korea.

Additional products of United Defense, L.P. include the Bradley
Fighting Vehicle and its derivatives, the Armored Gun System, the
Multiple Launch Rocket System carrier, and the M113 Armored Personnel
Carrier family of vehicles. The partnership also makes naval guns and
launching systems, military track for armored vehicles and provides
overhaul and conversion services.

In 1993, BMY-Combat Systems delivered 70 M109A6 Paladin Howitzers to
the U.S. Government. Deliveries of this vehicle are scheduled through
1994, and the Company will continue to participate in the production of
Paladin Howitzers through the defense business partnership, United
Defense, L.P. In 1993, the Company continued its nine-year
coproduction contract for M109 SPH vehicle kits with the Republic of
Korea and delivered 110 Howitzer kits. BMY-Combat Systems delivered 57
Armored Combat Earthmover (ACE) kits in 1993 to the Republic of Korea,
and deliveries are scheduled into 1995. In October, the Company
received a new contract from the U.S. Government for production of
these M9 ACE units, valued at about $78 million. The Company delivered
68 M88A1 Recovery Vehicles for international customers in 1993. In
October, the Company leased a facility in Fayette County, Pennsylvania
to expand its role in military vehicle maintenance and support
activities.

BMY-Wheeled Vehicles produces various models of the five-ton truck and
other commercial vehicles. In 1993, the BMY-Wheeled Vehicles Division
delivered 861 five-ton trucks to the U.S. Government and international
customers. The Company has produced over 25,000 of these units in
various configurations and anticipates the receipt of additional orders
in 1994. The Division will restart the production line in 1994 to
accommodate foreign production booked as of year-end.

In February 1993, the Company acquired certain assets from the Wayne
Corporation, a manufacturer of school buses, for approximately $2.1
million, and production of these buses was transferred to the
Marysville facility. This is a significant defense conversion effort
on the part of Harsco to use the skills of a work force in another
highly-regulated industry. The Company will continue to seek
additional commercial opportunities for production at that location.

For 1993, percentages of consolidated net sales of certain product
classes were as follows: tracked vehicles, 24% and wheeled vehicles,
8%.

(1) (i) The products and services of Harsco can be divided into a
number of classes. The product classes that contributed 10% or more as
a percentage of consolidated net sales in either of the last three
fiscal years are as set forth in the following table.



1993 1992 1991

Wheeled Vehicles 8% 24% 40%
Tracked Vehicles 24 24 14
Gas Control and Containment 13 11 9
Metal Reclamation 15 7 6


(1) (ii) New products and services are added from time to time;
however, currently none require the investment of a material amount of
the Company's assets.

(1) (iii) The manufacturing requirements of the Company's
operations are such that no unusual sources of supply for raw materials
are required. The raw materials used by the Company include steel and
aluminum which usually are readily available.

(1) (iv) While Harsco has a number of trademarks, patents and
patent applications, it does not consider that any material part of its
business is dependent upon them.

(1) (v) Harsco furnishes building products and materials and a
wide variety of specialized equipment for commercial, industrial,
public works and residential construction which are seasonal in nature.
In 1993, construction related operations accounted for 9% of total
sales.

(1) (vi) The practices of the Company relating to working capital
items are not unusual compared with those practices of other
manufacturers servicing mainly industrial and commercial markets.
Under the Defense Group, due to the nature of long-term contracts,
sizable amounts of inventory are carried by the Company; however, these
are partially funded through progress payments by the U.S. Government
and advance payments by Foreign Governments. See Note 3 to
consolidated financial statements and "Advances on long-term contracts"
on the balance sheets in selected portions of the 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders under Exhibit 13.

(1) (vii) Other than in the Defense Group of the Company's
business, whose principal customer has been the U.S. Government, as
further described under the Defense Group, no material part of the
business of the Company is dependent upon a single customer or a few
customers, the loss of any one of which would have a material adverse
effect upon the Company.

Sales to U.S. Government agencies in 1993, 1992 and 1991
amounted to 21%, 35% and 44% of the total sales, respectively.

(1) (viii) Backlog of orders stood at $146,751,000 and
$738,978,000 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. It is
expected that approximately 22% of the total backlog at December 31,
1993, will not be filled within 1994. Excluded from the 1993 backlog
is $397,939,000 contributed to United Defense, L.P. There is no
significant seasonal aspect to the Company's backlog.

(1) (ix) Under the terms and regulations applicable to government
contracts, the Government has the right to terminate its contracts with
the Defense Group in accordance with procedures specified in the
regulations and, under certain circumstances, has the right to
renegotiate profits. In 1993, this group accounted for 32% of total
sales.

(1) (x) The various fields in which Harsco operates are highly
competitive and the Company encounters active competition in all of its
activities from both larger and smaller companies who produce the same
or similar products or services or who produce different products
appropriate for the same uses.

(1) (xi) The expense for internal product improvement and product
development activities was $5,156,000, $4,590,000 and $3,647,000 in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Customer-sponsored research and
development expenditures were $23,008,000, $17,889,000 and $8,872,000,
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(1) (xii) The Company has become subject, as have others, to more
stringent air and water quality control legislation. The Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 will impose greater costs on the Company and most
other domestic manufacturers in the future but the effect on the
Company's business is not yet determinable. In general, the Company
has not experienced substantial difficulty in complying with these
environmental regulations in the past and does not anticipate making
any major capital expenditures for environmental control facilities in
1994 or 1995. While the Company expects that environmental regulations
may expand, and its expenditures for air and water quality control will
continue, it cannot predict the effect on its business of such expanded
regulations. Additional information regarding environmental
consideration is incorporated by reference to Note 1 and Note 10 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements under Exhibit No. 13.

(1) (xiii) As of December 31, 1993, the Company had approximately
14,200 employees.

Our report on the consolidated financial statements of Harsco
Corporation and subsidiary companies, which includes explanatory
paragraphs regarding (i) uncertainties concerning the Company's
involvement in various disputes regarding Federal Excise Tax and other

the ultimate outcome of the Company's claims against the Government

of accounting for income taxes and postretirement benefits other than
pensions, has been incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K from
