Business in the front, coffee party in the back. 🎊
The Eversys and Appliance Innovation booth was a standout shared space at NRA 2025. If you stopped by, you know what we mean fresh, delicious coffee served from self-sufficient machines that don’t just brew but clean themselves, too. Now that’s innovation you can taste. ☕✨

Over on the CEP International side, our VP of CEP International, Allison Trost spent the last week in Japan with the OSPI network! 🏯
The first half of the trip took place in Tokyo, where Allison participated in OSPI Network board meetings and visited our friends at Octanorm Japan. Then, it was onto Osaka for the 2025 World Expo where the OSPI group had the opportunity to take VIP tours through various country pavilions.
The cherry 🍒 on top? It was announced that CEP International has received the inaugural, prestigious OSPI of the Year Award! A huge THANK YOU to our partners both near & far! What an incredible experience! 🎉🎉🎉

Day 5 of our 40th Anniversary Celebration🎉 and we’re ending the week with the one and only Werner J. Koos. ☺️ As one of the original founders and the very foundation of CEP, Werner has been our guide and the heartbeat of this company since the very beginning. His vision built the base we all stand on today, and his steady leadership has shaped who we are over the last four decades. 🎉

From bold beginnings to years of growth, Werner’s unwavering commitment, integrity, and strength have touched every corner of this company. Thank you, Werner, for building more than just a business.

"I am proud to say how blessed I have been over the years to be surrounded by the best industry professionals and Superior Craftsman in the business! We have always worked as a Team and the success of CEP has been about our People!"

Day 4 of our 40th Anniversary Celebration! 🎉 Today, we're honored to highlight Cindy Joncek, our VP of Account Management, who has been with CEP since 1995. For nearly three decades, Cindy has played a vital role in shaping our client relationships and driving our success. Her leadership, loyalty, and deep commitment to our mission are truly invaluable. Thank you for everything! ❤️

"This year marks a special milestone for me—30 incredible years with CEP out of its 40-year journey. I still remember starting out as a client, having no idea what I was stepping into. Trade shows? I wasn’t even sure what those were! But what followed were unforgettable experiences, incredible opportunities, and invaluable lessons that have shaped me both professionally and personally.
I’m deeply grateful for the chance to grow with this amazing company and to have been surrounded by such talented, supportive, and inspiring colleagues along the way. Your mentorship, encouragement, and friendship have meant the world to me.
As I celebrate this 30-year work anniversary, I just want to say thank you—to each and every one of you. Here’s to many more years of shared success, milestones, and growth together." - Cindy Joncek

Day 3 of our 40th Anniversary Celebration! 🎉 Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Pete Petros. Pete’s reliability, team spirit, and steady presence have made a lasting impact on our company and culture.

"When someone has been with a company for as long as I have, it is difficult to put into words what events or occasions were the most noteworthy. Working at CEP has always been a unique blend of joy, camaraderie, elation and incredible frustration. Those of us that have shared a good many trips around the sun, seeing each other’s faces in our office setting have witnessed various groups of smart dedicated, talented people working in unison towards achieving something magical occur on a regular basis. It all begins with a simple conversation concerning how someone representing a company envisions the image they would like presented to others. The birth of an idea that is transformed into a visual concept and ultimately becomes a complete exhibit display, sometimes within weeks, is something that to this day amazes me. With all the moving parts that must work like many gears on a complex machine, it is incredible that anything finds its way to a final stage of completion, not to mention, often many at one time and always with the degree of quality that has been ingrained in all of us.
If that was the crux of what is special at our great company, that in itself would be much. It is not. Over the years, I have witnessed changing groups of people working like madmen, and when time permitted, rather than seek refuge from one another, go in the warehouse and play field hockey or outside for a rousing game of touch football, or even form teams to compete in bags. The surprising element in all of this is that it has never been a static group of employees, the guard has always been changing over the years and yet, group after group seek to find ways for continuing their interaction with one another rather than running away from the fold. To me this speaks volumes of a nurtured culture that by design has been embedded in the fabric of how this company has been structured. This is not commonplace, this is the magic !!!"- Pete Petros

Day 2 of our 40th Anniversary Celebration! 🎉Today we shine the spotlight on none other than Jim Nelson—“Nellie” to those who know and love him—a founding partner, visionary, and the heart and soul of our operation from the very beginning.

A few words from Nellie.... "Wow, where has the time gone. What a wild ride it’s been, forty fast & fun years. We’ve done so many shows and events worldwide in such a professional manner and all this was started in a small room in a basement in Beverly. We have so much to be thankful for and we wouldn’t have made it 40 years without great people. We are all truly blessed!" ☺️
