Founding Legacy: A Commitment to Quality

Founded in 1997 by Donald Cornelius, CWI Industrial Services (formerly Cornelius Welding, Inc.) is a Central Florida-based industrial services company built on hard work, skilled craftsmanship, and long-standing relationships. From our roots in Polk County, Florida, we proudly serve clients throughout the Southeast and beyond, delivering dependable fabrication and field construction solutions.

Core Values Passed Through Generations

Donald’s work ethic was shaped early by his parents, who built their lives around hands-on industries. His mother, Macy, worked in Florida’s fresh fruit industry with Ben Hill Griffin, while his father, Walter, was a farmer, sawmiller, and U.S. Air Force Veteran who instilled discipline, precision, and pride in a job well done – values that continue to define CWI today.

Evolution of Service: Expanding Our Reach

As our company evolved, so did its scope and capabilities. Operating today as CWI Industrial Services, the business supports a broad range of fabrication, installation, maintenance, and field-based construction needs across multiple industries. With experienced job foremen, millwrights, pipefitters, and welders, CWI provides skilled labor and hands-on project support customized to each client’s operational needs. From the office to the field, we remain committed to strict timelines, budget accountability, and a culture of safety.

Future-Focused: Embracing Change, Honoring Tradition

Today, nearly 30 years later, CWI Industrial Services continues to build on its legacy of quality workmanship and dependability. The next generation is actively involved, with Elizabeth Cornelius playing a key role in daily operations and process improvement – helping guide our company forward while honoring the foundation it was built on. Having grown up around the business, she brings a deep respect for CWI’s foundation alongside a forward-looking perspective shaped by modern industry needs.

Our Promise: Dependable Workmanship, Every Time

At CWI Industrial Services, our success is rooted in quality workmanship, dependable service, and pride in every job we deliver – values that have defined our company since 1997 and will continue to do so for years to come.
