Blentech Corporation

food processing equipment manufacturer

Blentech was founded in 1986 by Darrell Horn, a mechanical engineer with a strong background in agricultural equipment design, including mechanical grape harvesters. Drawing on his deep relationships in California’s agricultural industry, Darrell initially planned to manufacture winery equipment. But recognizing greater opportunity in food processing, he shifted Blentech’s focus to creating innovative thermal processing systems. Those early insights, combined with a drive to solve practical challenges, laid the foundation for Blentech’s continued success. With Sonoma County as our home base, we’ve grown from a small regional operation into a global leader in food manufacturing solutions, serving startups and Fortune 500 food brands alike.
