HORN's mission
History

From thought to action

In the early 1990s, HORN’s two founders, Karl Nielsen and Ove Jørgensen, had an entrepreneurial dream: they wanted to set up a worktop factory in the heart of Jutland that could challenge the established industry.

Karl’s wealth of ideas and Ove’s pragmatic approach were combined with a shared enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and a firm belief in the future. This enabled the fledgling business to grow rapidly, and HORN became known as the industry’s unconventional manufacturer – producing high-quality worktops and possessing the courage to think in terms of new, creative solutions.

Today, HORN still has its roots firmly planted in the Jutland soil. The only difference is that the company is now one of Europe’s leading worktop specialists.
