About AC Horn Manufacturing
AC Horn Manufacturing traces its roots to a modest garage in Dallas, Texas, where the company was founded in 1907 as a small sheet metal operation. The business took its modern shape in 1946 when A.C. 'Ace' Horn assumed leadership of his father's enterprise, establishing a philosophy built on integrity and keeping one's word. Today, Horn designs and builds processing equipment for the snack food industry, including popcorn cookers and coaters, continuous and batch nut roasters, peanut blanchers, nut butter mills, corn masa mills for tortillas and chips, and pellet puffing systems. The product line also features the modular M360 platform that allows customers to scale automation as production grows. A job shop division provides custom fabrication services. Horn serves snack food manufacturers of all sizes, from smaller regional processors to global corporations. Its equipment is used for popcorn, roasted and coated nuts, Japanese-style peanuts, nut butters, corn-based snacks, and puffed pellets. The company's customer base spans the broader food processing sector, with particular depth in nut and snack applications. The company attributes its differentiation to a century-old commitment to craftsmanship — using high-quality components, thoughtful design, and no shortcuts — backed by an unrivaled service pledge to fix issues quickly and provide ongoing technical support. The 2024 acquisition by PROBAT, another family-owned firm, was framed as a cultural fit that would strengthen both organizations through vertical integration and shared expertise.
