CMI aggressively develops new products which are typically driven by customer requirements.

Expand Capabilities

CMI regularly purchases equipment which provides new capabilities in support of new product development.

Enhance and Utilize Excess Capacity

CMI has abundant un-utilized capacity, which enables it to service customer requirements efficiently and effectively.

CMI management and ownership places the highest priorities on safe practices in the plant.

Commitment to Quality

CMI and IDT are both ISO 9001: 2015 registered. CMI is also registered with the American Association of Railroads for quality. From time to time, the company is required to do work to Nuclear Quality Assurance Standards (NQA-1). This process requires audits prior to and during production, as well as archiving after shipment.
