C & O Manufacturing - Custom Metal Fabricator

About C & O Manufacturing - Custom Metal Fabricator

C & O Manufacturing was founded in 1995 by Cesar and Oscar in a cramped storage-like shop in Irwindale, California. The two founders worked 16-hour days cutting, rolling, bending, and welding steel, building a reputation through word-of-mouth without advertising. Now headquartered in Pico Rivera, California, the company operates as a family-owned business where the founding philosophy of hands-on craftsmanship continues to guide operations. The company provides custom display fabrication, metal fabrication, laser cutting, and custom industrial parts from a facility exceeding 32,000 square feet. Its shop includes 14 welding stations staffed entirely by skilled craftsmen—no robots—and offers in-house capabilities spanning cutting, rolling, bending, welding, laser etching, powder coating, chrome plating, painting, assembly, and packaging. C & O also produces wood and acrylic displays, combining metal with wood, plastic, glass, and other materials to create countertop displays, floor displays, and trade-show componentry. C & O serves industries including beauty, hospitality, retail, exhibit, casino, and hotel sectors, as well as industrial clients needing custom machine parts. Its portfolio includes display work for Las Vegas casinos and hotels such as Hilton, Cosmopolitan, Renaissance, and Marriott, along with projects for Disney and Tesla. The company also handles smaller runs, such as 25 to 50 countertop cosmetic testers. The founders started with a vision of perfect craftsmanship and grew by teaching each new hire the same skills. The company emphasizes integrity, respect, community, teamwork, and safety as core values. Its differentiator lies in a one-stop-shop model that integrates design, engineering, prototyping, and finishing under one roof, all executed by experienced craftsmen rather than automated lines.
