Beaufort County CTE Students Visit Carver Machine Works
Beaufort County CTE Students Visit Carver Machine Works
- March 31, 2011
Eight students from Beaufort County Schools received an invitation that most graduates would relish. On Thursday, March 10, eight students from Northside, Southside, and Washington High Schools were invited to Carver Machine Works to tour the plant, learn about the company, and meet the human resource director, Melissa Simons. Mr. Stuart Asby, Vice President of Operations, and Mrs. Simons greeted students and shared information about the history of the company and what kinds of projects it takes on. The students were especially interested in information about how an employee-owned company operates. Then students and teachers were given a tour of the company and allowed to ask questions about varying projects they saw. The company’s preparation for the imminent retirement of a large number of highly skilled workers prompted the visit. The students who attended this event were chosen by trades and industry teachers at each school because of their skill development, interest, and work ethic. Beaufort County Schools extends thanks to Carver Machine Works for the valuable experience and interest shown toward our students.

CMW in the news...
From time to time, CMW makes news. Here are some of the latest examples.

After impressing some military personnel, Carver Machine Works landed a military contract for aerospace defense.
Lindsey Crisp, president and CEO of Carver Machine Works, said UNC-TV will have a special at 7:30 p.m. Monday that will feature Carver Machine Works and focus on the company’s expansion of aerospace and defense projects.
According to Crisp, CMW began to pursue the aerospace and defense industries in 2007 and soon after obtained its National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program certification in fusion welding.
“Since then, we’ve been fabricating and machining high-value, tight-tolerance components for companies such as Howmet Castings, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Warner Robins Air Force Base and Spirit Aerosystems,” she said.
Crisp added that one of CMW’s larger projects has involved fabrication of the major mechanical components associated with Moored Aerostat Surveillance Systems and specifically a program known as JLENS for Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensors Project.
Crisp served as the treasurer of the North Carolina Aerospace Alliance (NCAA) and was recently contacted by UNC-TV regarding featuring companies, like Carver Machine Works, who service the defense industry in a segment on the “North Carolina Now” broadcast called “North Carolina Rising.”
Crisp added that Beth Wilder, a Washington resident, reached out to Ray Jones, chairman of the Aerospace Alliance who is also with VX Aerospace in Morganton, and asked for referrals of companies that had successfully made this transition.
“Ray referred Beth to me,” Crisp said. “She was surprised to learn that we performed this type of work and called me to see if she could do a piece on our company.”
The segment will air on PBS at 7:30 p.m. Monday. To find out more about Carver Machine Works, visit www.cmwglobal.com.
