Carden Machine Shop, Inc. (CMS), a service connected disabled veteran owned small business, was founded in 1956 to provide state of the art machining, grinding and minor sub-assembly to the Defense, aerospace and commercial industries.

Maintaining a stable workforce in excess of (40) employees, CMS is located in a 45,000 square foot climate controlled facility in Sullivan, Missouri, only one hour southwest of St. Louis.  Using our CNC 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis and high speed machining along with cylindrical, centerless and surface grinding and thread rolling capabilities, CMS has become one of the most complete and versatile manufacturing operations in the industry.

CMS' quality management system meets the requirements of AS9100 as certified by BSI through an independent audit that also covers ISO 9001:2000 and most other customer specific quality level requirements.  Our quality performance has allowed us to achieve delegated source and "ship to stock" status with many of our clients eliminating the need for customer source inspection at our facility. 

With over 50 years of manufacturing experience we have established ourselves as a well respected company serving the Department of Defense, aerospace and commercial industries. "Getting it right from the beginning" is not just our credo, it is the way we do business.
