NAECO acquires competitor product lines
®
Established in 1999, NAECO , LLC (NAECO) is a worldwide supplier of electrical contacts, assemblies and machine parts to
electrical contact manufacturers and electromechanical device manufacturers.
With its roots to 1916 as the Mallory Metallurgical Company, CMW International Incorporated, based in Indianapolis
Indiana, operated three major business units: Electrical Contacts, Heavy Metals and Welding Products. In early April,
NAECO completed the purchase of the CMW Electrical Contacts business and the CMW Heavy Metals business. NAECO
now owns tooling, inventory, machinery, Intellectual Property and technical know‐how of these businesses.
Steve Jones, former Sales Manager for CMW, has worked for NAECO since 2011, and is now NAECO’s Director of Sales.
“This acquisition complements our existing capabilities very well. CMW’s former Electrical Contacts and Heavy Metals
customers can look forward to a smooth transition and a stable supply. “
“NAECO is a service‐focused manufacturer who offers a broader product line, more innovative inventory systems and
deeper support capabilities than CMW could. However, CMW was a strong company in many areas and we can now
integrate their proud history and legacy of recognized materials into our own” adds David Bergmann, President of NAECO.

The former CMW Heavy Metals line will now be known as NAECOMET Heavy Metals, and will include the NO CHAT

products. CMW 1000, CMW 2000, CMW 3000 and CMW 3950/3970 products are now NAECOMET 1000,
®
®
®
NAECOMET 2000, NAECOMET 3000 and NAECOMET 3950/3970, respectively. These specialty metals are used for
weights, counterbalances and shielding. They serve as critical materials to balance and stabilize products used in the
Aerospace, Military and defense industries, where the desire is to balance moving parts such as helicopter blades,
ordnance, missiles and other dynamic objects. These materials are also important for sporting goods applications for
achieving precise balance of racecars, firearms, tennis rackets and more. These high‐density materials also have important
medical applications for shielding within diagnostic equipment.
®
NAECOMET heavy metals, will continue to meet MIL‐T‐2101, AMS77250, ASTM B777 specifications for Class 1, Class 2,
Class 3 and Class 4 tungsten. Where applicable, the materials will continue to be DFARS/ITAR compliant.

Tungsten High‐Density Metals: Solutions For
Weights and Counterbalances
NAECO® Tungsten-Based High-Density Metals have long
been specified for control surface counterbalances in
military and commercial aircraft. Large mass in a small
space is required to balance and stabilize control surfaces
operating at high speeds. A savings in total aircraft
weight can result from the use of these materials because
the small high density piece requires less surrounding
material to enclose it. In addition, the high strength of the
material permits the part to be located for the most
efficient weight effect and therefore uses the minimum
amount of material.
NAECO, LLC. enjoys a long history of supplying technical
materials for the aerospace, military and defense
industries. Whether you desire to balance helicopter
rotor blades, stabilize control surfaces of ailerons or
rudder sections, or position the fore‐cone of a missile,
NAECO tungsten‐based, high‐ density metals make an
excellent choice for your demanding applications.
Precision Machined Weights & Counterbalances
NAECO® supplies material in a variety of forms such as
as‐sintered, near net‐shape, or precision‐machined to
your exact specifications. These materials meet existing
ML‐T‐21014, AMS7725D and ASTM B777 specifications
for Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4 tungsten. All of
our materials meet your DFARS and ITAR requirements.
If you are looking for a better solution for your weights
and counterbalance needs, please contact us to discuss
the properties, manufacturability and availability of our
high‐ density metals.
