CP Manufacturing, headquartered in San Diego, will be celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2012. CP has been supplying equipment to the recycling industry since 1977.
CP’s origin began with IMS Recycling, its parent company. Founded in 1954 by Charles Davis, IMS developed an aluminum can reclamation program in the early 1970s. Charles invented what the company claims is the world’s first aluminum can flattener–the CP100–for use in his own yard. Charles founded CP Manufacturing to respond to demand for the CP100. His son, Bob, then went on to lead the company.
Since that time, CP says it has custom engineered, manufactured and installed more than 400 material recovery facilities worldwide.
Bob saw that strategic acquisitions of other industry-proven companies would add to the success of the organization and ensure that CP provides the best integrated solutions for its customers. He has acquired four companies since 2003, forming the CP Group.
CP, MSS, Krause, IPS Balers and Advanced MRF form the CP Group, which provides solutions for material recovery facilities, from the tip floor to bale storage and all of the equipment in between.
“From the beginning, CP has been an integral player contributing to the growth and success of the recycling industry,” Bob says. “The foundation of the CP Group puts us in an even stronger position to further support this growing and constantly evolving industry.”
John Willis, president of the CP Group, says, “We have a really strong team here. Each of the five divisions of the CP Group has a specialty and an expertise so we can deliver the best solutions to our customers, from every angle.”
