Honing systems manufacturer Sunnen Products Company is relocating its BTA Heller division to the Sunnen headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. The move from Troy, Michigan, will be completed by March 31.

BTA Heller provides a solution for shops looking for complete bore creation-to-finishing capabilities. Sunnen added BTA’s deep hole tooling and systems last year for primary hole generation.

The relocation 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, according to Sunnen.

Sunnen’s core technical competencies include automated and manual honing and lapping systems, custom system development and integration, abrasives, tooling, lubricants, and gaging.

The BTA Heller acquisition expanded Sunnen’s honing expertise to include tooling for initial hole creation and other complementary bore sizing and finishing processes. Sunnen also recently introduced the new SHD series skiving and roller burnishing system with tooling engineered and supplied by BTA Heller.

Sunnen employs 650 people worldwide, with offices, manufacturing and tech support facilities throughout Europe, the U.K., China, Brazil and India.
