Paul Horn GmbH. From 1969 Foundations to a Global Leader in Precision Tooling
1969 was a landmark year for engineering. The world watched as the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed on the moon and Concorde completed its maiden flight, redefining what was possible in technology and innovation. That same year marked the beginning of another engineering success story. Paul Horn founded Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrik Paul Horn GmbH in Waiblingen, Germany, laying the foundations for what would become one of the most respected names in precision cutting tool technology. The company relocated to Tübingen in 1981 and adopted the name Paul Horn GmbH. From that point forward, the business experienced rapid growth, developing into a global

Is a certificate of conformity enough?
When it comes to thread gauges, there’s a real difference between a certificate of conformity and UKAS accreditation. At Original Gauge Company, gauges are measured and calibrated using full UKAS accreditation procedures, checking features like pitch diameter, thread pitch, and flank angles. These are details that a basic certificate may never reveal – yet they can cause serious problems when parts need to fit together. In today’s Technical Corner, Joe Reynolds of MTDCNC invites Clive Legg of Original Gauge Company to explain why engineers should care about proper gauge calibration.
