When the Passion for Sophisticated Safety Technology Is Passed On…
The CM Group – with its two subsidiaries CM Security and CM Manufactory – is a true family business. In 2019, 35 years after founding the company, founder Christoph Michailidis entrusted leadership of the group to his two children, Marina and Michael Michailidis. Today, the second generation continues to successfully shape the company’s story together with around 100 dedicated colleagues.
Follow some milestones in our corporate development here:
Christoph Michailidis establishes CM Electronic in Bisingen. Together with his wife Gabriele, he takes the leap into self-employment. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! And so it was with CM.
CM Electronic launches its first proprietary products in safety technology.
Christoph Michailidis acquires PAPP Sicherheitstechnik. This leads to significant and successful growth in the alarm and security technology sector. CM Security is founded.
After several relocations, the group moves into its current headquarters in Bisingen-Nord – which still serves as the home of the CM Group and its subsidiaries today.
The corporate group continues to take shape: CM Manufactory GmbH and CM Management GmbH are founded – clear signals of sustainable growth. By this time, more than 100 employees are already part of the group.
Expansion continues: Delker GmbH, a specialist in custom cable assemblies, becomes part of the company. In 2019, this division is renamed CM Systems.
The CM Group integrates Riese GmbH from Horb into the company – creating the Automation & Safety division. This enables the group to offer the full range of Electronics Manufacturing Services.
Siblings Marina and Michael Michailidis assume equal responsibility for leading the group. With Marina’s background in business administration and Michael’s expertise as an engineer in technical cybernetics, they form the perfect foundation for guiding the CM Group toward continued economic and technological success.
