Sunnen Moves BTA Heller Division to St. Louis
This relocation allows further integration of tooling, systems and processes for precision boring applications.
Posted: February 28, 2019
Sunnen Products Company (St. Louis, MO) is relocating their BTA Heller division to their headquarters in St. Louis, MO. The move from Troy, MI, will be completed by March 31, with key personnel making the move. The company’s acquisition of BTA Heller last year created a unique system for shops looking for complete bore creation-to-finishing capabilities: Sunnen, one of the world’s largest vertically-integrated manufacturers of honing systems for precision bore sizing and finishing, added BTA deep hole tooling and systems for primary hole generation. This current move will facilitate further development of tooling, systems and processes as the companies build on natural synergies to offer single-source bore creation and finishing solutions.
“Our companies complement each other very well,” said Chris Miltenberger, the president and chief operations officer of Sunnen. “No other deep hole/BTA company has our global presence for customer, technical and post-sale support. The transfer of knowledge between the two companies has already created unique value propositions, and our strong sales and service network will deliver this expertise to our users.”
