About Consolidated Boring

A Manufacturing Group Built for Accountability

Our Operating Companies

One CBI Organization. Multiple Specialized Manufacturing Operations.

Consolidated Boring Inc. (CBI) is built on multiple specialized operating facilities, Faxon Machining and American Flowform & Machining (AFM), aligned under one mission and managed as one integrated manufacturing organization.

Customers engage with CBI as a single partner, gaining access to specialized processes and deep technical expertise without the complexity of managing separate suppliers.

Faxon Machining

With over 40 years of experience, Faxon Machining provides tight-tolerance machining, complex geometry manufacturing, and engineering-led problem solving. The team is known for repeatability, practical manufacturability support, and consistent execution from prototype through production. With fully integrated design, engineering, and manufacturing teams, we are ready to take your product from initial concept to complete product.

American Flowform & Machining (AFM)

A world leader in precision flowforming, American Flowform & Machining (AFM) delivers advanced flowforming and near-net shaping for high-strength, thin-wall cylindrical components. AFM enables improved material performance, reduced waste, and scalable production for defense, aerospace, oil and gas, and additional applications, supported by precision machining, tight tolerances, repeatability, and proven “make it manufacturable” problem-solving.

An Integrated Manufacturing Platform Built for Speed and Execution

CBI creates value across every stage of a defense program, from early concept and prototype work through full-rate production and sustainment. We help customers reduce technical and supply chain risk early, align designs to scalable manufacturing, and accelerate transition into repeatable production. As programs move faster and teams do more with less, our integrated facilities provide the speed, capacity, and execution discipline needed to deliver confidently at every phase.

Integrated Manufacturing Built for Speed and Execution

Consolidated Boring Inc. (CBI) is a vertically integrated, two-site manufacturing organization supporting mission-critical defense and aerospace programs. We bring together precision machining, specialized flowforming processes, disciplined quality systems, and collaborative execution to deliver reliable, scalable manufacturing capability.

CBI was built to eliminate the uncertainty that often comes with complex manufacturing programs. By controlling more of the process, we reduce hand-offs and execute with consistency from prototype through production.
