We’re taking the risk out of offshore sourcing.

CMC International, Inc. is an established offshore sourcing and procurement agent based in Crystal Lake, IL, a northwest suburb of Chicago. We specialize in importing custom-engineered parts and components from East Asia that meet the exacting requirements of our customers’ specific applications. Since 2003, we have helped U.S. industrial and commercial manufacturers of all sizes save time and cut costs by providing high quality parts and components with the best possible options in pricing, inventory control, and delivery.

The CMC Advantage

For over twenty years, CMC International has been minimizing the risk of offshore part and component sourcing for our clients through our high standards and commitment to quality. We take your trust seriously which is why you can expect the following when working with us:

Our commitment to customer satisfaction means you can expect a seamless experience each and every time you work with us. As a partner in our customers’ supply chains, we seek to add value by helping you source the best solutions for your business to save you time and money.

We know customer confidence is built through reliable communication and follow-through. You can expect regular updates on your order from a dedicated salesperson with authorization to help you in the moment any time you need it.

Cost is key in today’s manufacturing environment. Offshore sourcing increases efficiency and improves profitability compared to domestic sourcing. And CMC’s decades of experience mean you’re getting a competitive advantage in both price and quality.

We take on the risk so our customers don’t have to. By establishing a trusted network of factory partners that share in our commitment to superior quality and accountability, we’re able to provide excellent components at competitive prices.

Our Process

CMC International has developed an efficient and reliable sourcing process which mitigates risk and ensures you receive your custom components to spec and on time.

Strategically Located

We see ourselves as a one stop shop for manufacturers of all shapes and sizes. However, CMC doesn’t stock or warehouse parts. Every order is shipped directly from our factories in East Asia to your receiving dock. Since all shipments first arrive in Chicago via rail or air transit before moving on to our customers, we offer the highest competitive advantage to companies in and around the Chicagoland area as well as throughout the Midwest. Located in the heart of the USA, all major freight lines converge near Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Combined with our proximity to the many logistics service providers and trucking companies surrounding O’Hare, CMC International is well situated to effectively receive and redirect components to our customers in a timely manner.

We appreciate our customers’ feedback!

At CMC International, we know that anytime you outsource, you’re putting the success of your business in someone else’s hands and trusting them to come through for you. We take that trust seriously and take pride in the years’ long relationships we have with our customers. Here’s what a few of them have to say about working with us:

“We are a door manufacturer. Few components are more important to a door manufacturer than the hinges. The choice of vendor for our hinges was a very serious consideration. CMC International won our business in the early 2000s after a successful First Article process for each of five different models of hinge. Through continual top-notch performance in terms of quality, on time delivery as well as competitive pricing, CMC has maintained their position as our door hinge supplier.

They are simply one of our highest performing, most trustworthy suppliers.”

“Screenflex Portable Partitions has been working with Mike Miller and Kevin Cook of CMC International for the past 10+ years. I have nothing but high praise for how they run their company and respond to our various requests. Most importantly, CMC is excellent with regards to communication whether it be good news or bad. They are very open and honest on what is happening with a material quote or container shipping times. Importing materials is not only about cost and timing, but the quality of the products. Overall, we have been extremely satisfied with the products that we have received over the many years working with CMC.

I have worked with a lot of people in my 35 years of running my company Screenflex and I would say that Mike and Kevin are among the most professional individuals that I have ever been involved with.”

President
Screenflex Portable Partitions, Inc.

“We have been a customer of CMC since they started in 2003. Working with Mike and Kevin is like working with an extension of our company. Mike and Kevin work as a team with us to ensure both of our best interests are at heart.

What we need from all our suppliers is transparency, and with CMC we are well informed of any potential issues we may face. The quality of their products meets and exceeds our specifications and at no time are we ever left holding the bag should there be any issues.

We have been in business for over 50 years, and I have never had such a good relationship with a supplier. Mike and Kevin are the dream team, and we are happy to be a customer of theirs. I highly recommend CMC International and can only say that I wish we had more suppliers like them!”
