Founded in 2016, Rhone-Alpes-based CMW, which specializes in the manufacture and cutting of high-precision gears for the needs of all industries (aerospace, nuclear, transport, maritime...) announces the signing of a three-year contract with SNCF to produce precision gears. This new collaboration enables CMW to capitalize on the know-how and performance of its Corbas production unit, comprising over 240 machines, real-time performance measurement software and a high level of gear expertise.
CMW on the right track with SNCF
This new contract is based on the supply of precision gears, classified as category 1 and considered by the SNCF as "highly stressed parts or assemblies, particularly those involving the safety of traffic and people".
Already effective, this new collaboration marks an important turning point for the company, which has won back the trust of the SNCF : "Remy Barrere, a plant previously based in Saint-Etienne, which we took over in 2016, had been carrying out this contract and therefore this supply for around twenty years. After the plant filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and 2015, the contract was not renewed in 2016. Since that date, and the takeover by CMW, we have worked year after year, through a small business deal with the SNCF, to explain, demonstrate and promote our performance and the know-how retained by our journeymen, now based at our Lyon-Corbas plant. It's the work of an entire competent and dynamic team that has made this success possible".explains Arthur Le Goff, head of CMW.
CMW, know-how
Having brought together the Remy Barrere Gears, AEP, TEM, Sotame and Metale workshops on the same premises in Corbas after their successive takeovers, CMW has equipped itself with a 5,000 m2 production facility that is unique in its field in France: comprising an "arsenal" of over 240 machines, experienced journeymen and 4.0 productivity measurement tools, the Rhone-Alpes company is able to meet the most demanding industrial requirements (aeronautical, maritime, rail, nuclear...) for gear manufacturing and cutting.
Guided by the pursuit of excellence and respect for delivery deadlines (the company's OTD is close to 90 %), the company has around a hundred customers, including global manufacturers such as Man, Fairbanks (USA), Safran, HHM (China), and exports over 40 % of its production outside Europe.
This new collaboration with the SNCF is further good news for the company, which has also been awarded a diploma as best supplier in its category in June 2021 by Safran : "The SNCF contract is a first step. I intend to use this springboard to conquer future markets in the near future with other major customers looking for gears manufactured with excellence.says Arthur Le Goff.
