Announcement – Name Change

July 8 -

In 2015, CB Manufacturing will celebrate our Fiftieth year as one of the U.S.’s premier knife manufacturing companies.  We may be marking our golden anniversary, but we continue to live our mission statement: Better * Faster * Leaner * Stronger.  In that spirit, on July 1, 2014, we are proud to introduce to you our new name: American Cutting Edge, a division of CB Manufacturing.  We have chosen to adopt as our new name the title of the razor blade focused branch of our company because it reflects overall what our company is: North America’s number one provider of cutting edges.

Many of our valued customers currently purchase from both CB Manufacturing and American Cutting Edge and the combining of our two divisions—machine knives and razor blades—will eliminate the need to issue two separate purchase orders and maintain two separate accounts when placing orders.  It will also simplify the quoting and ordering process for our customers, as they will have a single service expert who oversees all their orders from start to finish.

Regardless of our name, American Cutting Edge, a division of CB Manufacturing, will continue to focus on the same principles that are allowing us to commemorate fifty successful years: exceptional customer service and the highest standards of quality.  The same principles that Charlie Biehn set in place back in 1965.

During the changeover on July 1, 2014, and afterwards, we will always accept purchase orders issued to either CB Manufacturing or American Cutting Edge as our customers update their systems to reflect our new name.

Please join us in marking our Fiftieth birthday.  And we’d like to thank you, our loyal and valued customers.  Over the past five decades, we have all weathered changes in the economy and technology and emerged stronger and better than ever.  We look forward to celebrating another fifty years in partnership with the customers who are so instrumental to our success.

Very Truly Yours,

Chuck Biehn Chief Executive Officer American Cutting Edge, a division of CB Manufacturing
