An Established Metal Finishing Company since 1956
Mr. Marvin Mac McQuone started our company in 1956. At that time he ran the shop and office by himself while learning the metal finishing business. For 5 years, the business struggled to survive, but with hard work and determination the business grew.
Expanding the Business
In 1965 Mac was looking into Tin Plating to expand his business, the cost of copper was very high at that time, and the industry started using aluminum for buss bar in electrical panels. The aluminum had to be Tin Plated. This was the opportunity that he was looking for. By 1969, the business had outgrown the small shop, land was purchased, and a new 5000-square-foot shop was built.
The Saga Continues 2nd and 3rd Generations come into play
Mac decided it was time to let go of some of the responsibilities, and retire. It was during this time that his son Dave started running the business. Land was purchased next to the current location on Cherry Ave in Fresno CA. and the business added another 12,000 square feet in 1997. In 2010 Dave McQuone unexpectedly passed away and it was time for his 2 sons to keep CEP’s legacy going. Since 2010 Matt and Dane have continued to grow the business, adding new processing lines, larger plating tanks, and 3 trucks that now service all of Northern California on a daily basis.
