Our Founders
More than 40 years ago Chris and Louise set out to fulfill a dream. The dream of a precision machine shop with unmatched quality. Through a lot of sacrifice, hard work, and commitment, CMI was born. From that dedication it has since become a thriving business with deep family ties. Chris and Louise had an unwavering belief in what they were doing and CMI today is the fruit of their labors.
Chris & Louise Christensen
This 1980 legacy was later turned over to their son Mike. With the torch successfully passed on, Louise has been able to retire and just enjoy her family. She knows that all those years she and her husband spent building, have paid off, as she watches her family carry CMI into the future.
Honoring the past,
While Moving Forward.
