Farmington Hills, Michigan-based cutting tool manufacturer Star Cutter Company acquired Tru Tech CNC grinding systems from New Hampshire-based Resonetics. 

Star Cutter assumes all design and manufacturing of the Tru Tech high-precision CNC grinding machines currently performed at facilities in Mt. Clemens and Lewiston, Michigan. Additionally, Star Cutter secures the service, training and spare parts support for Tru Techs’ installation base across North America and Europe.

“Tru Tech is a strategic purchase that perfectly complements our existing business,” said Brad Lawton, Star Cutter Company chairman and CEO, in a Sept. 1 news release. “It expands our technology offering to address earlier operations in the tool grinding process. New capability in blank preparation and cylindrical grinding, as well as Tru Tech’s large install base, will create synergies with Star Cutter Company’s existing business units. This is a true win-win that benefits both our company and, most importantly, our customers.”

Star Cutter has experience in carbide pre-forms, custom tool production, tool grinding, reconditioning services and customer services, backed by a global 700-employee.

For the near future, all Tru Tech employees will continue to function as they have at the Mt. Clemens and Lewiston operations with the Tru Tech machines and offerings ultimately becoming part of Star Cutter’s Machine Tool business unit, company officials said.
