Explore the milestones that have defined our journey.• 1973: CMV® was founded and initiated the activities in an area of only 430ft² in Porto Alegre, south of Brazil. • 1975: in a larger location, it started to produce some road machines and shot blasting machines, its main product. At that time, the blasting machines produced were only pressurized. • 1980: suction blasting machines were added to the production line. • 1995: the company had already achieved leadership in Latin America in compressed air blasting. • 1997: initiated the exportation to the European market and translated do the current headquarter in the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where it has more than 193750f² of land. In the same year, we completed the introduction of blast wheel machines (without compressed air) with a great diversity of automized machines for special applications and shot peening • 1998: built the largest shot peening machine in operation in Brazil, supplied to EMBRAER, which performs shot peening on aircraft structural components. • 2004: started exporting to other markets, including North American. It operates abroad under the brand CMV Blasting. • 2005: developed a series of new machines (many patented), in addition to an internationally patented double fan blast wheel. •2007: got the ISO:9001 2001 certification through BSI. • 2008: with the resurgence of the naval industry in Brasil, we made the main supplies for the sector, including sheet preparation lines and big air-conditioned cabins. We also started the distribution of airless painting pumps from the Hasco brand (Korea). • 2009: we steed a partnership with SAVIM from Italy, a company that is specialized in blast room and greenhouses for painting, including these products in the line of work, and opened a subsidiary in Maryland in the USA. It made new important supplies for the naval and oil and gas areas. • 2010: we got the recertification in ISO 9001 now in the version 2008 also through BSI. CMV invested more than R$ 3 million in development and upgrading of our products. • 2011: overcame the investments and development of products made in 2010. Opened a subsidiary in Russia in Ekaterinburg and expanded an area of its headquarters in Cachoeirinha, which had more than 75347.37ft² of built-up area and another43.05564ft² of yard/storage area. • 2013: unfortunately, the founder of CMV, Mr. José Jerônimo Marques Vieira, is no longer with us. We are absolutely sure that their teachings, attitudes, and examples are part of the DNA of this company. We will never forget what this great teacher taught us. We certainly have and will still have a lot to celebrate. • 2017: we manufactured the biggest blasting and painting room in Latin America, situated in Estaleiro Atlântico Sul. • 2018: once again we were nominated by NEI magazine as the preferred brand by the market in our segment. In addition, we were invited to participate in the Brazilian Seminar on Pipe Coating, as we have several reference equipment in the market that is used for blasting pipes. • 2019: due to our presence and expansion in the shot peening market, we developed a rotary head lance for nozzles with lateral exit. This head will become part of our shot peening machines as an optional item. We got the recertification in ISO 9001 now in the version 2015 through BSI. Also in this year, and with the continuous investment of our products, we manufactured for an American company a blasting machine that uses two types of abrasive, doing the cleaning and the shot peening operation in the same equipment. • 2020: we invested more in our communication, improving our website and sales materials. We implemented a new ERP, modernizing several internal processes and offering our customers even more agility. We developed a new sealing system for the roof of the Spinner hanger shot blast machine, minimizing maintenance and abrasive leakage (patent required). 2021: we developed a new sealing system for the overhead monorail shot blast machine, minimizing maintenance and abrasive leakage (patent pending). We installed a paint booth with the largest free-span opening door in Latin America. • 2022: we invested in equipment to modernize our production process, with the most significant being the acquisition of a 6Kw fiber optic laser cutting machine with dual tables of 6.1 x 2.5 m. Once again, we were recertified in ISO-9001-2015 by BSI. • 2023: we made significant progress in implementing Lean Manufacturing in our company with the support of a reputable external consultancy. This year we celebrate our 50th anniversary. This achievement is proof of our ongoing pursuit of excellence and quality. The successful journey continues, guided by the vision and values that have inspired us since our foundation in 1973. 2024: we have made significant investments in equipment to modernize our production process, highlighting the acquisition of a high-precision 3-axis machining center. We also launched the B-600 blast wheel, which redefines the standards of power and efficiency in industrial blasting, with a dimension of 600mm and power ranging from 75 to 150 HP, ideal for demanding applications such as blasting steel sheet blanks and tubes.
