We're excited to welcome our three summer interns to the CMW team! This year's intern group is working with our Engineering and Finance departments to bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to the shop each day.

Victor and Braxton are Mechanical Engineering majors. And Hannah is working on her M.S. in Accounting.

They'll spend the summer at our Washington, NC shop looking at real world applications and key business development and outcomes. They've already begun making an impact since their arrival several weeks ago.

🏁 From the NASCAR track to our shop floor — meet apprentice Crawford Turner!

If you caught the recent Cup Series race at Martinsville, you may have spotted CMW Global riding along on Brad Keselowski's Buildsubmarines.com car. 🇺🇸 But the real story isn't on the track — it's happening every day right here on our shop floor.

Crawford joined the CMW Global team in February 2025 through the U.S. Navy Talent Pipeline Program, bringing a lifelong love of working with his hands — built doing frame-off restorations on old cars (including a 1971 Bronco) with his granddad. 🔧

Since then, he's taken charge of his future: starting as a finisher, building his skills in welding, and now diving into Machining and Fabrication with advanced coursework at Beaufort Community College. Every component he helps build supports something bigger — including critical thrust units for U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
In his words: "When you see something go out the door, it makes you feel accomplished. It's like — I really did that."

And his journey isn't slowing down. On June 26th, Crawford and CMW Global President Lindsey Crisp head to Washington D.C. for the Navy Talent Pipeline Program's National Signing Day. 🎉

We'd like to introduce you to someone we're very excited to welcome this summer.

Meet Will Askew from Northside High School, joining Michael Britt as CMW Global's second BeauPros pre-apprentice this summer!

That's right! CMW Global is proud to be the only partner company in the BeauPros program hosting two pre-apprentices this summer. We think that says a lot about our commitment to building the next generation of skilled tradespeople right here in Beaufort County.

Will is heading into a summer of hands-on precision machining experience, working alongside our team on real work in a real shop: the kind of environment where you learn fast, develop sharp skills, and discover what a career in advanced manufacturing actually looks like from the inside.

We're thrilled to have both Will and Michael with us this summer and can't wait to see what they accomplish. Welcome to the CMW family, Will!

At CMW Global, we have been building on a foundation of continuous improvement since 1976. That commitment means investing in the equipment and technology our customers need, not just to keep pace with the demands of aerospace, defense, naval, pulp and paper, chemical, nuclear, and advanced industrial manufacturing, but to stay ahead of them. Today, we are pleased to announce the latest addition to our precision machining floor: the Flow Mach 200c waterjet cutting system, replacing our previous OMAX 55100. It is a meaningful upgrade, and we want our customers to understand exactly what it means for the work we do together.

From the short track at Martinsville to the deep blue sea!

NASCAR racing shows us exactly what happens when elite engineering and the pinnacle of craftsmanship come together under immense pressure. At CMW Global, our team lives by that exact same standard every single day.

As part of the maritime industrial base and submarine industrial base, we take immense pride in every weld, every precisely machined component, and every heavy-duty project we deliver to back our nation's defense. That is why we are proud to align with Build Submarines to showcase the power and necessity of skilled American manufacturing.

We'd like to introduce you to someone special. 🎉

Meet Michael Britt from Washington Montessori School — one of the newest members of the CMW Global family this summer as part of the BeauPros pre-apprenticeship program!

Michael will be spending his summer here in Washington, NC getting hands-on experience in precision machining — working alongside our team on real projects, building real skills, and getting a firsthand look at what a career in advanced manufacturing looks like.

We're honored to play a role in his journey and proud to be part of a program that's building Beaufort County's next generation of skilled tradespeople.

Welcome, Michael — we can't wait to see what you accomplish. 💪

If you’ve ever ordered a precision-machined part, you’ve probably encountered the word “tolerance.” But unless you work in manufacturing every day, it’s easy to gloss over what tolerances actually mean and why they matter so much to your budget, your schedule, and the performance of your equipment.

Here’s a straightforward look at what tight tolerances really mean, and how they influence the three things customers care about most: cost, lead time, and risk.

Big news from the CMW Global shop floor.

We've upgraded our waterjet cutting system to the Flow Mach 200c, and it's a serious step forward for what we can do for our customers.

The new machine brings true 5-axis bevel cutting, 3D cutting capability, and a 60,000 PSI intensifier pump purpose-built for the exotic alloys (titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy) that we work with every day. More capability, more precision, all in-house.

That means fewer handoffs, shorter lead times, and a higher level of service for every project that comes through our doors.

We're proud to be a founding partner of BeauPros, a youth apprenticeship program connecting Beaufort County high school students with local businesses and a real career path.

This summer, two rising seniors will spend 6–8 weeks here at CMW Global learning the craft of precision machining, working alongside our team on the kind of work that goes into aerospace, defense, and naval applications. Not a classroom exercise. Real work, real skills, real mentorship.

But the summer is just the beginning. Our hope is that when these young men graduate, they'll join CMW full time while earning their Machining Associate's Degree at Beaufort County Community College, paid for in full.

Beaufort County has always been home for us. Investing in the next generation of skilled tradespeople isn't just good business, it's the right thing to do, and we are so honored to be included in this program.

Your project is only as reliable as the parts inside it. Whether it’s a one-off repair for a critical industrial component or a long-term defense contract, picking the wrong precision machine shop is the fastest way to blow a budget and miss a deadline. The right precision machine shop brings more than just equipment to the table. They bring experience, accountability, and the technical know-how to get the job done right the first time. Here’s what to look for.
