Sun Engineering grows, moves into downtown Saline

Sun Engineering is moving to downtown Saline to grow its company, now that it has bought and is refurbishing the old R&B building.
The nearly 70-year-old building will become the home to the defense contractors engineering and manufacturing operations. That means 15 new employees for right now and probably another dozen by the end of the year.
"It looks like a new shop," says Andrew Warner, president of
Sun Engineering
and a University of Michigan graduate. "We'll be doing some remodeling so it looks even better.
Sun Engineering designs and makes missile defense systems out of its Pittsfield Township location. When the company was ready to expand and began looking around, Saline officials began aggressively courting the business to move to the long-vacant R&B building.
The structure had several attractive features, such as large overhead cranes, large doors and all of the basic infrastructure a niche manufacturer could want in 62,000 square feet. One of the biggest attractions was the large amount of office space that came attached to the shop portion. That should allow enough room for Sun Engineering to grow both sides of its business for the foreseeable future.
"I hope we have a space problem one day, but that will be a ways off," Warner says.
