Carmichael Industries is the freelance spy organization founded by Chuck and Sarah, under the working aliases of Sarah and Charles Carmichael. The only other permanent staff to date are Morgan Grimes and John Casey.
The firm is central throughout the final season of Chuck, replacing the Team Bartowski joint op that were sanctioned by the CIA and NSA throughout the first four seasons.
Carmichael Industries was possible thanks to Volkoff Industries, whose founder, the restored Hartley Winterbottom, had made a wedding present of the majority of Volkoff assets to Chuck and Sarah to the tune of 877 million dollars. The government had left Castle behind, stripped of equipment, when they withdrew the CIA substation from Burbank; Chuck used his new fortune to buy it and refurbish it, as well as the Buy More above as continuing cover.
Carmichael Industries' rival companies are Verbanski Corp, and Quinn's Firm.
Carmichael Industries could be reached at P.O. Box 5237 Burbank, CA 91506, as seen on a package delivered to them.
History[]
Main article: Team Bartowski
The name first appears in Chuck Versus the Cliffhanger. Carmichael Industries is discussed in Chuck Versus the Zoom, when Sarah is concerned about their start up costs having spent some 42 million dollars already: "Rockets, bullets, the private jet, servicing the private jet, the fresh shrimp that Morgan likes to eat on the private jet." Casey also complains the he "gets antsy taking cases with moral ambiguity."
After the semi-successful mission retrieving a Ming vase and microchip from Jean-Claude and having their operation against Roger Bale hacked by Clyde Decker, they lost access to the bulk of their money when their assets were illegally frozen by Decker's Team.
The status of the funds remained unresolved by the series end.
