About Horton, Inc.
Horton, Inc. was founded in 1951 in Britton, South Dakota, when Hugh Schilling acquired the company with backing from three investors. Originally focused on industrial clutches, the business pivoted in the 1960s to apply its clutch expertise to engine cooling for on- and off-highway vehicles. Today Horton designs and manufactures fan drives, fans, and thermal-management components for heavy-duty applications. The company operates 15 facilities worldwide, serves customers in 70 countries through 900 distributor locations, and produced its 10 millionth fan drive in 2024. Its engineering team uses simulation software and extensive in-house testing to develop customized cooling assemblies that integrate fans, drives, brackets, and hubs. Horton’s products are used across on-highway and off-highway markets, including commercial trucking, construction, mining, agriculture, stationary power generation, gas compression, and emerging electrification platforms. Major OEMs such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Navistar, and Volvo have specified Horton fan drives as standard equipment, while fleets and distributors rely on the company’s global sales and service network. The company attributes its longevity to a collaborative development model that emphasizes listening to customer requirements, then delivering tailored solutions backed by a trained worldwide distributor network. Horton also highlights its environmental focus, noting that its cooling products help reduce fuel consumption and noise while its manufacturing processes aim to eliminate waste and prevent pollution.
