The CP Group of Companies
The CP Group of companies is seven companies all owned by CP Manufacturing Inc which is in turned owned by IMS. IMS was founded as a scrap metal company in 1954 by Charles M. Davis and is still owned by the Davis family. IMS continues to trade in metal today with additional facilities including three automated WEEE plants as well as our own commercially operated MRF processing material for the city of San Diego, California. In 1977 Charles Davis formed CP Manufacturing Incorporated when he invented the first Aluminium Can Flattener – CP Manufacturing still manufactures the Can Flattener today, now known as the Can Densor.
CP Manufacturing continued to grow, developing new technologies as well as acquiring other MRF technology companies that would complement its own. These acquisitions included MSS with their Near-infra-red (NIR) optical sorting technology, IPS Balers, Krause Manufacturing with their expertise in Construction & Demolition MRF’s as well as Advanced MRF control and intelligent systems.
