Sunnen Brings BTA Heller Division to St. Louis



The new Sunnen SHD-series bore-sizing machine incorporates the BTA Heller skiving and roller burnishing tooling. "Sunnen expects the acquisition of Troy, MI-based BTA Heller to create a company unique in the industry, combining years of both deep hole drilling and honing expertise," said a company spokesperson.

Sunnen Products Company is relocating its BTA Heller division to the Sunnen headquarters in St. Louis, MO. The move from Troy, MI, was completed in March. Sunnen's acquisition of BTA Heller in 2018 created a unique solution for shops looking for complete bore creation-to-finishing capabilities. Sunnen, a vertically integrated manufacturer of honing systems for precision bore sizing and finishing, added BTA's deep hole tooling and systems for primary hole generation. The move facilitates 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, President and COO of Sunnen Products Company. "No other deep hole/BTA company has Sunnen's global presence for customer, technical and post-sale support. The transfer of knowledge between the two companies has already created unique value propositions, and Sunnen's strong sales and service network will deliver this expertise to our customers."

Sunnen's core technical competencies include automated and manual honing and lapping systems, custom system development and integration, abrasives, tooling, lubricants and gauging. 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 recently introduced the new SHD series skiving and roller burnishing system with tooling engineered and supplied by BTA Heller.

"We have developed various tools and systems for creating intricate internal profiled deep hole drilling from .5 in. to 36 in. diameter," said Mark Sollich, Director of Sunnen's BTA Heller division. "Working with Sunnen and its bore geometry expertise creates a company not found anywhere else in the industry. No one company can provide a total bore solution from the creation of the primary hole to the final bore finish specifications like we can."
