The family garage was transformed into a straightforward metal manufacturing factory in 1988. Rob spent his evenings and weekends welding and milling for businesses all around the Valley. 

Within ten years, CEM outgrew the garage and relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona's first commercial structure. CEM offers services spanning from idea creation through complete manufacture, according to the needs of the market. 

CEM expanded from 4,000 SF to 10,000 SF to its current 20,000 SF location in the Deer Valley industrial district at the beginning of 2006! CEM has had its ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems accreditation active since 2012. 

By 2022, two generations of the family and several of the original team members will have served more than 600 clients in Mexico and the United States.
