Trijicon has been working with CEP for the past decade. While they’ve certainly proven to be reliable, timely, cost-effective and diligent, what truly sets them apart is the ability to create innovative exhibits and provide optimized logistics support regardless of the challenge. CEP has been consistently able to foresee potential pitfalls and pain points, and advise accordingly. Additionally, the consistency service CEP has provided throughout the years has been worth its weight in gold. We are continuously being reminded of what makes CEP rise above their competitors. They bring stellar service, support, loyalty and dedication to every project and challenge we face together. - Cassandra Varner - Trijicon

Change can be hard, but not with CEP. During 2021 Browning decided to re-design our SHOT Show booth. After awarding the build to CEP it was clear Browning was in good hands. Their experience and attention to detail is second to none. From design, to build and finally show open the process was seamless. We wholeheartedly recommend CEP in any show capacity.

CEP has been a true partner, they don’t just feel like an extension of our team, they are an extension of our team. They are highly communicative, readily available, and look to creatively problem solve whenever issues arise. We truly value the relationship we’ve built with them over the years and wouldn’t have been able to execute as effectively and efficiently without them.
