For over 75 years, Export Corporation has been a trusted partner in the defense supply chain. From the post-WWII era to the modern day, we’ve built our reputation on a simple promise: protecting the critical assets that protect our nation.
Today, we are proud to announce a major milestone in that mission. Export Corporation is officially pursuing and achieving CMMC Level 2 Certification.
For many, “CMMC” (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) might sound like another acronym in the long list of government regulations. But for us—and for the manufacturers and military branches we serve—it is a game-changer. Here is why this certification is such a big deal for our small business and our partners.
CMMC Level 2 isn’t just about having a strong password; it’s a rigorous framework of 110 distinct security controls based on NIST SP 800-171. It is designed specifically to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)—the sensitive technical data, blueprints, and ITAR-controlled information that are vital to national security.
By achieving Level 2, we are proving that our internal systems meet the Department of Defense’s high standards for “Advanced” cyber hygiene. We aren’t just checking a box; we are institutionalizing security into every facet of our operations.
It is no secret that for small businesses in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), the road to CMMC Level 2 is steep. It requires significant investment in technology, policy documentation, and team training.
As a small business, our agility has always been our strength. By committing to this certification, we are proving that we have the technical maturity of a global corporation while maintaining the personal, hands-on service of a local partner. It demonstrates our long-term stability and our commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry.
In modern warfare and logistics, the supply chain is a primary target. A vulnerability in a packaging provider can be just as dangerous as a vulnerability in a weapons manufacturer.
When you trust Export Corporation with your parts preservation, kitting, or custom crating, you are often trusting us with sensitive data. Our CMMC Level 2 status means:
Since the 1940s, Export Corporation has specialized in preservation. Historically, that meant protecting metal from rust and equipment from damage during overseas transit.
In 2026, “preservation” looks different. It includes protecting digital assets from hackers and ensuring data integrity. While the tools have changed—from wax coatings to multi-factor authentication and encrypted servers—the goal remains the same: ensuring that what is sent is what is received, safely and securely.
Achieving CMMC Level 2 is a testament to the hard work of our entire team and our dedication to the “Made in Michigan” spirit of excellence. We are proud to be among the elite group of small businesses leading the charge in cybersecurity.
To our current partners: thank you for your trust. To our future partners: we are ready to handle your most sensitive projects with the security and expertise they deserve.
