To build a cleaner and more sustainable world for future generations.
Our company culture is guided by simple yet powerful values: respect for each other and for the planet.
Innovation is in our DNA. From the beginning we have brought new ideas and technologies to the waste and recycling industry. Our machinery roots began with the invention of the world’s first aluminum can flattener in 1977 (CP stands for Can Pac) to the development and deployment of largescale turnkey material recovery facilities today.
Our culture thrives on curiosity and continuous learning. When a bar is met another is raised. Our employees have a service mentality. We put customer’s needs first. When you become a CPG customer, you become a lifelong partner. We’re in it with you for the long haul.
Charles M. Davis established IMS Recycling Services.
Davis invented the world’s first commercial aluminum can flattener and formed CP Manufacturing.

Acquired Krause Manufacturing, a leader in construction and demolition separation equipment.
Formed a joint venture between CP Manufacturing and Ken Mills Engineering to provide support to European based clients.
Acquired Advanced MRF, a specialist in intelligent motor controls and data acquisition.
CPG remains a leader in the waste and recycling equipment manufacturing, engineering, and installation industry.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA with distinction. Our commitment to innovative design, quality construction, and exceptional customer service continues to set the standard in the industry.

Managing the complexities of installing material recovery facilities or sorting equipment in different countries requires a comprehensive understanding of local regulations, cultural nuances, and logistical challenges. From navigating varying permitting processes to coordinating with diverse stakeholders, each step demands meticulous planning and adaptability.
Our approach involves close collaboration with local partners, leveraging our global expertise to overcome obstacles and ensure successful project implementation. By customizing solutions to fit the unique needs of each location, we strive to facilitate sustainable waste management practices and drive positive environmental impact on a global scale.
We are recyclers at our core. CPG has evolved with the recycling industry with roots in operations as well as equipment manufacturing and MRF design.
We owned and operated a material recovery facility (MRF) for over 25 years processing half of the city of San Diego’s curbside recycling. We don’t just manufacture machines, we engineer solutions based on our firsthand experience.
We understand commodity fluctuations, what downtime and maintenance really mean, and the ever-changing material streams. We relate to our customers because we have walked in their shoes.
That is the CP Group difference.
Safety isn’t just a priority at our company; it’s ingrained in our culture. From top management to every team member, we prioritize safety in all aspects of our work. We continuously strive to foster a culture where safety is not just a set of rules, but a mindset that guides our actions every day. Through comprehensive training, regular communication, and a shared commitment to each other’s well-being, we ensure a safe workplace for our employees and customers.
Safety isn’t just a box to check; it’s a core value that defines who we are and how we operate.
