In , the company diversified into reloading tools with the acquisition of Pacific Tool Company and into wholesaling with the acquisition of Western Gun and Supply Company. Pacific Tool was one of the oldest manufacturers of reloading equipment. Its fortunes had risen and fallen several times before its acquisition by an investor group and its move back to Lincoln, Nebraska, one of the numerous moves it had made in its history.
Pacific had begun to market the Model shotshell reloader, an inexpensive and versatile tool for the casual or beginning reloader. Innergroove bullets were scored inside the bullet jacket tip, ensuring consistent mushrooming whether the bullet was a spire point, round nose, or flat point. Bullets with the InterLock feature have an interior ring that locks jacket and core together, thereby minimizing separation. In its first two decades, Hornady Manufacturing grew from a new business start-up to a multi-divisional, multi-million dollar enterprise, respected within its industry, respected in its own community, and respected by a growing customer base throughout the world.
Hornady was doing what he loved best. His wife and youngest son had joined him in the business. The linchpin of the company was suddenly gone. After the immediate shock and grief abated somewhat, a giant question remained. What was to happen to the company? There were those who doubted it could survive the tremendous loss of its first and only leader. That was not the belief of Marval Hornady. The family needed to regroup, and so it did. Steve Hornady became president and Marval the chairman of the board.
Daughter Margaret Hornady David and her husband, Don, left careers at Polaroid to become vice president and chief engineer, respectively. A new era had begun. What was created in grew sound enough and strong enough to survive the cruel blow of losing the founder 32 years later.
In , Jason Hornady, Steve's son, returned to the company as director of sales and is currently vice president. The stature of Hornady Manufacturing Company within its industry has never been higher. Hornady Manufacturing has gone from a start-up in a small Grand Island former auto body shop to become the largest independently owned maker of bullets, ammunition, and tools in the world.
It suggests as well that the future may prove just as promising. The Hornady Manufacturing Company is truly more than the sum of its employees, equipment and facilities. A visitor to Grand Island, Nebraska, can quickly discover how active the Hornady family has been in community affairs, how generous in its philanthropy, how concerned for helping others—including the larger shooting community.
