Company History
In the mid-1990s, as a drafter/designer and chemical engineer from 3M’s Chemical Division saw an opportunity to apply their expertise across a broader range of industries and companies, C-P Systems was founded. Since day 1, C-P Systems has remained focused on helping clients solve complex engineering challenges using state-of-the-art technology and innovative design solutions. Whether that involved using plastic scale models, plotters, and stacks of field notes in the early days to now using 3D scanning equipment, spec-driven piping design, and real-time collaboration tools today, we’ve had the opportunity to evolve along with the industry’s design technology. As a result, our team has a deeper understanding of how every design decision impacts construction, operations, and long-term plant performance.
Throughout this time, we’ve remained committed to our core values and our employees, resulting in the development of a distinguished team of engineers and designers from diverse backgrounds that has allowed us to expand both the services we offer and industries we serve.
