The art of crafting horn and bone handicrafts has been deeply rooted in India’s cultural and artisan heritage, especially in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, a region globally recognized as the hub for horn and bone artistry. The excellence of every handcrafted item—whether it’s a drinking horn, button, comb, or jewelry piece—begins with one essential element: premium-quality buffalo horn and bone raw material.
At HornImpex, a leading manufacturer and exporter of horn and bone products from India, each creation starts from naturally sourced and ethically obtained materials. The company’s commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship ensures that every export meets international quality and ethical sourcing standards.
Buffalo horn and bone are obtained as by-products of the meat and dairy industry, ensuring no harm or hunting for production purposes. This makes horn and bone products eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to synthetic or plastic-based materials. Once collected, these raw materials undergo cleaning, boiling, and sterilization processes to ensure they are safe and suitable for crafting into premium handicrafts.
Buffalo Horn Plates and Blanks:
Used to manufacture combs, buttons, knife handles, and jewelry items. HornImpex supplies horn plates for manufacturing in custom thickness and finishes, tailored to global buyers’ specifications.
Bone Blanks and Sheets:
Bone raw material for handicrafts is processed into smooth sheets used for inlay work, ornaments, and other decorative crafts. These are popular among artisans in Europe, the USA, and Japan for fine detailing and durable finish.
Horn Tips and Rolls:
Horn tips are often used in carving, while rolls are used for turning products such as bangles, beads, and drinking mugs.
Sustainability: 100% natural and biodegradable materials supporting eco-friendly craftsmanship.
Durability: Horn and bone materials are known for strength and longevity, making them ideal for long-lasting export products.
Aesthetic Appeal: Each piece is unique in texture, color, and grain—no two horn or bone pieces are identical.
Versatility: Used across multiple product categories—tableware, jewelry, décor, and cutlery.
For international buyers and importers seeking authentic horn and bone handicraft raw material from India, HornImpex provides consistent quality, ethical sourcing, and export-ready packaging that meets global compliance norms.

The transformation of raw horn and bone into stunning handicrafts is both an art and a science. The process begins with careful selection and grading of raw materials. Each horn or bone piece is manually inspected for color, density, and texture before it enters the production cycle.
Cleaning & Boiling: Removes natural fats and impurities.
Flattening or Cutting: Horns are softened and flattened into sheets or cut into blanks.
Polishing & Finishing: Surfaces are refined for export-grade products.
Quality Control: HornImpex ensures each lot meets international export standards and buyer specifications.
Unlike synthetic materials, buffalo horn and bone are renewable and biodegradable.
