Paul HORN GmbH and HORN USA manufacture high precision carbide grooving tools, which meet the expectations of our customers considering Performance, Security, Quality, Reliability and the Environmental Protection levels of the individual market segments.

All of these requirements are achieved from an established quality control chain which includes the Development, Construction, Production and even Production Management.

All steps during the manufacturing process are carefully scheduled and respect all existing and relevant Norm areas as well as official requirements. The manufacturing process also includes cost analysis and cost evaluations.

Skilled and long-term educated employees are responsible for all relevant manufacturing tasks. Materials, machines and all other production elements represent the latest and most modern equipment according to the known levels in science and technology.

It is also important to develop a work philosophy that does not only recognize errors and the reasons for it. More importantly it should detect possible errors in advance and create troubleshooting procedures before an error appears. This philosophy requires highly motivated employees. It is our aim to create and improve the working environment continuously to maintain this highly motivated workforce.

Each employee commits himself with his exceptional performance and high quality work to realize and achieve the company targets. In case one employee discovers processes or production failures that he personally cannot influence, it is an obligation to inform his or her supervisor or area manager without delay. Any possible appearance of irregularities has to be avoided. All employees are part of this quality procedure.

For all environmental and quality related work and processes regarding emergency activities, documents and procedures have been introduced and are on file.

A continuous control of all products and processes, and documented procedures are guaranteed due to internal audits and certification audits by external institutions.  This is in order to continuously improve the company’s environmental protection, work safety and quality control.

We always monitor existing production activities during the normal operation, in addition to when we detect an error in terms of the influence on environmental protection. New processes are laid out with consideration of the influence on the environment. We have decided on the best available technology considering all quality and economical manufacturing aspects.

The minimal requirements for any of our activities are the general rules and regulations. We use our best endeavors also considering the influence of the technical side to avoid any possible danger for health, safety and the environment.
