Mission Statement:
Cutting Edge Manufacturing Inc. takes pride in providing the highest quality of customer service. We believe in precision parts followed by competitive pricing.
History:
In 1988, the business began as a simple metal fabrication shop in a garage in Phoenix, Arizona. The owner received an engineering degree from Arizona State University while working to grow the business. After building a customer base and purchasing a water jet, a couple of employees were hired and the small business moved to a rented shop space in 1998. Some of the original employees still remain with the company today. In 1999, the business moved to a full size shop. In 2001, a 1000 watt laser was added which increased efficiency and reduced cost for the customer. Other equipment has been added such as a horizontal band saw, a brake press, a shear, and a grainer. In 2004 we upgraded to a brand new 4000 watt laser and a new, larger location is in the works for the Summer of 2005.
The CEM team enjoys creating and building. There is always something new and exciting taking place here. We have worked on many interesting projects with our customers. Some of these projects have included artwork for freeway overpasses; custom furniture for restaurants and individuals; decorative fire bowls; traffic camera cabinets; aerospace projects; and building remodels-just to name a few. In 1998, the owner began designs for the “World’s First Folding Utility Knife”- the Superknife. The Superknife was released to the market in 2001 and surpassed all expectations with its success. In 2002, the first RC Roll Cage was produced by the RC Solutions division of Cutting Edge based on research by employees and a vision and design that the owner had when he was eight years old. Since 2002, eight more styles of RC roll cages and several other accessories have been produced and more are on the way. In his “spare” time, the owner also drives an off-road race truck that he owns. Never a dull moment!
