BMR Suspension is proud to announce the acquisition of Hotchkis Sport Suspension, bringing another highly respected name in performance suspension into our growing family of brands.
For more than three decades, Hotchkis has helped redefine what enthusiasts expect from American muscle, building a reputation for premium performance suspension products, innovative design, and a genuine passion for making cars handle.
As BMR Suspension President Allan Miller shared, bringing Hotchkis together with BMR Suspension and Heidts Suspension creates a “unique synergy among three highly respected performance suspension brands” while building a stronger platform centered on premium products and American manufacturing.
For John Hotchkis, this announcement represents the next chapter of a journey that began with what he calls the “crazy idea more than three decades ago that muscle cars should actually handle.” That idea grew into a respected performance brand, a passionate community, countless track days and autocross events, and decades of memories throughout the automotive aftermarket.
John reflected that Hotchkis helped “change what people expected from American muscle” and expressed his gratitude to the employees, customers, dealers, suppliers, friends, and enthusiasts who helped make that vision possible.
Looking toward the future, John also shared his excitement to see Allan Miller and his son, Allan Miller III, build on the Hotchkis legacy and take the brand to even greater heights. That trust carries significant meaning as BMR takes responsibility for the next chapter of a brand with more than three decades of history behind it.
The addition of Hotchkis to the BMR family further strengthens a growing portfolio of performance brands that also includes Alston Racing, Carlyle Racing, Chassis Engineering Inc., and Control Freak Suspension.
We are proud to welcome Hotchkis Sport Suspension to the family and honored to help carry its legacy forward.
