Our Story
Lakeshore Central Fab, Formerly PEL Central Fabrication
PEL Central Fab was founded in 1959 by Paul E. Leimkuehler. When Paul retired, his son Bob rebranded the business as Lakeshore Central Fab in 1984. Now in its third generation, the company is led by Jim and Greg Leimkuehler. The team includes skilled prosthetic and orthotic technicians, along with full-time practitioners who offer their expertise as needed. Despite the leadership changes, the employees and management have remained consistent, upholding the core values and principles that Paul Leimkuehler established over six decades ago.
We Share a Home with Leimkuehler, Inc.
Lakeshore Central Fab is located within Leimkuehler, Inc. The Main Office is a 15,000 square foot facility where all in-house fabrication is performed and is located in Cleveland, OH, minutes from Downtown.

We Don’t Shy Away From Difficult & Unique Jobs
Joints and Corset Prosthesis
“My patient has been used to the joints and corset design for many years. We could not find anyone that would fabricate this for us until we found Lakeshore Central Fab. My patient and I could not be happier with the fast turnaround and quality.”
John P.
Custom Laminated Designs
“I didn’t realize personal photos can be laminated on our patients sockets. Lakeshore also makes it easy for often times tedious patient requests. I like the fact I can tell Lakeshore what I need and they make it work.”
Linda S.
Custom Leather Covered AK
“Lakeshore went the extra mile to fulfill my request to do a leather covered socket.” My patient is very particular and Lakeshore delivered.”
