Your Partner in High-Performance Metal Finishing

For more than 65 years, manufacturers across automotive, agricultural, infrastructure, and electrification have trusted CMC to protect the parts they ship. Four facilities, 17 processing lines, hexavalent-chromium-free finishes throughout, and one team standing behind every job.

Since 1959

Family-Led Heritage

Founded in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and family-led for the entire run since. Three more facilities have joined the group, but the founding principle hasn't changed: deliver on quality, service, and price, on every order.

ISO 9001:2015

Quality You Can Count On

A full-time in-house lab runs salt spray, atomic absorption, and X-ray fluorescence on every program. Process control is the job at CMC, not an add-on.

Since 1959

Environmental Commitment

Exceeding environmental standards and continuously upgrading wastewater treatment and process chemistry to match where the industry is going next.
