Mr King, the HORN Group has been active in the USA since 1997. How is the company positioned today?

We have established a strong presence in the US, supported by local sales, manufacturing, design and technical teams. After nearly three decades in the market, many of our customers see HORN as a trusted manufacturing partner, relying on us to support process optimization, reduce cycle times, and improve cost per part, for example.

We take a consultative approach with our customers and work closely with them to deliver the best possible solution, whether that is a standard tool or a fully customized special solution. We are well positioned to be successful in the future. With the completion of our new building in 2020, we have expanded our capacity with additional grinding machines and an in-house coating facility and we still have ample room to grow.

What exactly does it mean when you say you manufacture in the USA?

When we say that we manufacture in the U.S., we mean that we have end-to-end manufacturing expertise. At our facility in Franklin, Tennessee, we can take a customer's part print, design a custom tool, grind the blank and apply our in-house coating. All under one roof. We don't just manufacture in the U.S., we manufacture for the U.S. and support the North American industry with speed, quality and local expertise.
