About Us

Central Mine Equipment Company was founded in St. Louis, Missouri in 1928. Our initial product line included augers, cutters, and related accessories for the coal mining industry. In 1962, we introduced the first CME drill rig. Today, we design and manufacture a complete line of drilling equipment for the geotechnical, environmental, mineral exploration, and construction industries. We also build a complete line of hollow-stem and continuous flight augers, auger accessories, sampling systems, and all-terrain and rough-terrain carriers. In addition to our line of quality manufactured products, CME is a leading provider of tools, equipment, and supplies for core and rotary drilling, soil sampling, and ground water monitoring.
