Central Sheet Metal Products Inc

About Central Sheet Metal Products Inc

Central Sheet Metal Products, Inc. has operated from Skokie, Illinois since 1912. The company was founded as a Chicago storefront supplying copper, roof flashings, gutters and downspouts, and has remained in the Silverstein family for five generations. Current leadership includes fourth‑generation owners Joel and Peter Silverstein and fifth‑generation owners Ron and Rob Silverstein. The shop specializes in precision sheet metal fabrication, offering fiber laser cutting with lights‑out automation, CNC punching and forming, welding, drilling/tapping, hardware insertion, polishing and contract finishing (powder coating, e‑coating, painting, silk screening, plating and anodizing). Engineering is performed in‑house using SolidWorks 3D modeling, with design, reverse‑engineering and re‑engineering services. The facility runs multiple press brakes (up to 135 metric tons), a Mitsubishi 2.5 kW fiber laser with a 120″ × 60″ bed, Strippit turret punches, and a range of secondary equipment. The company handles small, medium and large volume runs and multiple part‑mix OEM programs. Customers span OEM medical and dental devices, electronics, rack‑mount and audio/visual enclosures, computer peripherals, industrial equipment, electrical and air‑handling systems, display/POP, gaming, food‑and‑beverage vending, and agricultural machinery. The firm focuses on contract manufacturing for original equipment manufacturers. The company emphasizes quality craftsmanship, complete customer satisfaction, direct communication, on‑time delivery and continuous improvement. Capital investments in automation and calibration have reduced lead times, and a business‑continuity mindset aims to maintain consistent service across generations.
