Why Sonoma County?

In 1986, owner Darrell Horn was interested in manufacturing mechanical grape harvesters and ended up purchasing manufacturing equipment from a Santa Rosa stainless company that was closing. Blentech Corporation was created and ultimately filled a need for food processing equipment instead of harvesting equipment. Darrell made Sonoma County his home and has fully supported local manufacturing, providing livelihood for 80+ employees and their families.
