OUR STORY
We’re proud to be a third-generation family business supplying steel light poles in Arizona and nationwide for over 45 years. Our story starts in 1974 when Sam Edelstein and his son, Peter, founded a steel light pole manufacturing company that placed integrity and customer service center stage. Starting out with little capital, they used tires to and move steel around instead of forklifts. With hard work and ingenuity, Sam and Peter built an outstanding reputation in the outdoor lighting industry based on quality product and a personal touch.
Today, Peter’s son, Michael, has proudly taken over the reins. Carrying on the family legacy, Cem-tec continues to grow to better serve our customers. We are now situated on 7.5 acres and maintain an extensive inventory to service projects with minimal lead time.

We accomplish this with our best-in-class team of welders, structural engineers, production managers, and sales specialists.
