company's extrusion department straight out of high school. Over
the years, he grew his expertise in manufacturing, working in areas
such as hot forming, cold drawing, and managing key production
departments. His consultative approach and technical expertise have
made him a trusted resource in industries like potable water and
machining.
As Director of Sales and Marketing, Jim will focus on driving
CXM's growth by leveraging his industry knowledge and strong
relationships. His leadership will be key in reinforcing CXM's
commitment to high-quality alloys, custom extrusions, and excellent
customer service.

improvements aimed at enhancing its manufacturing capabilities.
Founded in 1923, CXM has a long history of leadership in the
recycling of brass materials and a reputation for delivering
reliable products to industries such as automotive, aerospace, and
electronics. Tramec's commitment to CXM includes key investments in
manufacturing upgrades to ensure greater production and delivery

customers expect—such as delivering high-quality bar profile
shapes, custom alloys, and flexible minimum order quantities," said
Holm. "With Jim leading our Sales and Marketing efforts, we are
excited to strengthen our relationships with both current customers
and those who may have been dissatisfied in the past."
"I am thrilled to return to CXM and contribute to the
continuation of the company's legacy," said Jim Miller. "We have an outstanding team here,
and I'm confident that by focusing on customer relationships and
technical support, we can provide unique, high-quality solutions
for the precision machined components industry. I'm excited for the
opportunities ahead."
With a strong foundation and a renewed focus on excellence,
