- Precision components manufactured to defence drawings
- Retrofit and modification of legacy machines
- Fixtures and gauging for repeat production
Industry
Legacy machines, local spares, strict confidentiality
Long-serving machines, discontinued spares and an import-substitution mandate — handled with the documentation your unit needs and the confidentiality your drawings require.
- Reverse engineering from sample
- NDA before detailed drawings
- Documentation to your purchase order
Best for
Obsolete spares, tooling and components for legacy equipment
You send
Sample or drawing, machine details and documentation requirements
You get back
Verified parts with the documentation your order specifies
How it starts
Confidentiality agreed before drawings are shared
The situation
The sourcing problem in defence production
Equipment stays in service far longer than its supply chain does, and the paperwork requirements do not relax as the parts get harder to find.
- 01Legacy machines with spares that no longer exist commercially
- 02Import substitution mandates with no local drawing package
- 03Small batches of parts that are nonetheless critical
- 04Drawings that cannot leave a controlled environment casually
- 05Documentation required for every delivered part
What you get
What working with CMTA actually delivers
Spares, tooling and components for defence production units and their suppliers.
A drawing where none existed
Obsolete components reverse engineered from sample into an approved drawing your unit owns and can reorder against.
Controlled handling
NDA before detailed drawings are shared, private storage for files, and nothing published without written permission.
Documentation to order
Inspection reports, material certificates and process documentation supplied as your purchase order specifies.
Straight answers on registration
Vendor registrations and approvals are published only when verified — ask and you will be told the current position.
02
Quality, documentation and registrations
Inspection reports, material certificates and process documentation are supplied as agreed. Registrations, vendor approvals and any defence-specific accreditation are stated only where current and verified.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions engineers and buyers ask before sending a drawing. If yours is not here, ask it directly — you will get an engineer's answer, not a brochure.
Still have a question?
Talk to Anita M.N, Managing Partner, or send the drawing and let the review answer it.
Is CMTA a registered defence vendor?
Vendor registrations and approvals are published only when verified. Please contact us to discuss the registrations relevant to your unit.
Can CMTA handle small batches of critical parts?
Yes. Small-batch and single-piece manufacture of critical components is a normal pattern of work, with the approved drawing retained for repeat orders.
What documentation is available with supplied parts?
Inspection reports for agreed critical dimensions, material certificates passed through from the supplier where requested at order stage, and process route information where your quality system requires it. Documentation scope is agreed before manufacture, not negotiated after delivery.
How is confidentiality handled?
Drawings and samples are used only to prepare and execute your order, and are stored in private storage accessible to CMTA engineering. An NDA can be signed before detailed drawings are shared, and customer names, drawings and results are never published without written permission.
