Send us something with tight distortion requirements, a compressed timeline, or a weld sequence that actually has to be planned — that’s where we’re built differently. The fixturing, weld sequencing, in-process checks, and final inspection do not happen by accident. They are part of how CEF controls complex fabrication work from start to finish. - Mid-to-large weldments requiring process control, not just equipment - Responsive when your program changes or timelines compress - ISO 9001:2015 quality system — documented through every operation - One-source delivery: cutting through assembly under one roof - 65,000 sq ft Milwaukee facility — accessible from I-43 and US-45 - In business since 1990 — stable, experienced team - Response within one business day on drawings submitted [Get a Quote ](https://hj9qwrklpbvho98.onstatic.studio/contact/) [ ![Cutting Edge Fabrication — shop floor overview video showing welding, plasma cutting, and large structural assembly - metal fabrication Milwaukee](https://hj9qwrklpbvho98.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/CEF-YT-Thumbnail.jpg) ](https://youtu.be/yym-2HqY9ZA) See CEF in action — welding, cutting, and assembly 35+ Years in Business 65K Sq Ft Facility Ready to Work Together ## Have a weldment that needs a reliable partner?

What types of projects is CEF best suited for? CEF is best suited for mid-to-large structural weldments and assemblies where complexity, tight tolerances, or compressed timelines make execution challenging. If your part is large, involves multiple processes, or requires documented quality control, CEF is built for that work. What file formats do you accept for RFQ submissions? We accept DXF, DWG, PDF, SolidWorks, STEP, and IGES files. Preliminary sketches and supporting specifications are also useful when a production drawing is not yet available. What is CEF’s typical lead time? Lead time depends on material availability, project complexity, required processes, quantity, and current shop loading. Send us the drawing and your target date, and we will evaluate timing as part of the quote. What materials does CEF work with? We work with structural steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and a range of specialty alloys. If you’re unsure whether we process your material, send us the spec and we’ll tell you directly. Does CEF handle full assemblies or just fabricated components? Both. CEF can handle cutting, forming, welding, CNC machining, and full assembly in-house. Finishing services including sandblasting, painting, powder coating, plating, and galvanizing can also be included as part of the completed program. Where is CEF located and what areas do you serve? CEF is located at 6030 North 60th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53218 — accessible from I-43 and US-45. We primarily serve Southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois but work with customers throughout the United States.
