The John Cockerill group of companies (formerly CMI Groupe or Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie , before that Cockerill Mechanical Industries ) is a Belgian mechanical and plant engineering group with its headquarters in Seraing , a suburb of Liège .
history
The company CMI was founded in 1982 from the mechanical and plant engineering division of the Belgian Cockerill-Sambre group . The origin of the group was the coal and steel company founded by John Cockerill and his brother James Cockerill in 1816. In addition to the production of iron and steel, it was also involved in the manufacture of industrial plants, steam locomotives, steam boilers and machines.
In 2002 the subsidiary CMI was spun off from the Cockerill-Sambre group and sold to private investors. Since the former mother Cockerill-Sambre has now been completely absorbed by the steel group ArcelorMittal , Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie was the company that kept up the tradition of the Cockerill name . In 2019, CMI renamed John Cockerill again .
