LA MIRADA, Calif.—HORN, formerly known as E.T. Horn, opened a new corporate facility to combine the leadership of its six self-sufficient business units. The 120,000-square-foot facility in La Mirada, CA, provides a consolidated site for corporate leadership while retaining and supporting individual manufacturing or warehouse sites for each business group.
The company said the extensive use of glass throughout the contemporary new site creates an open environment that stimulates the active exchange of ideas. The central lobby, offices and work space as well as numerous conference rooms were expanded to provide greater capacity and comfort for colleagues, partners, principals and customers, HORN reported.
This year also marks the company’s 50th anniversary, and in honor, the company hosted a series of private events in September, including a formal celebration for special guests and a company-wide event.
The company has grown to 150 employees, many of whom will now be based at the new facility. One new employee, Roger Clemens, DrPH, joined HORN in January 2011 as the company’s newly established position of chief scientific officer.
HORN focuses on industries that mirror the six groups into which its business is organized: nutraceuticals, coatings and building materials, advanced materials, foodtech, essentials and animal wellness. Its specialty ingredients are used in numerous products from coatings, building materials, nutraceuticals, foods, cosmetics and personal care products to animal foods and supplements. Horn serves regional distributors and both national and global partners.
