Production-Ready Components for
Automotive OEMs and Tier Suppliers.
CPI manufactures precision tooling, fixtures, and machined components for automotive OEMs and tiered suppliers where consistency, repeatability, and on-time delivery across the full production lifecycle are essential.
Why CPI
Engineered for the Demands
of Automotive Production.
CPI operates as an engineering-focused manufacturing partner for automotive OEMs and tiered suppliers. We don't simply run parts — we work directly with automotive engineering, program management, and procurement teams to improve manufacturability, reduce part cost, and ensure production reliability across the full product lifecycle.
With 80 years of experience manufacturing precision components for demanding automotive environments, we understand what repeatability, tight tolerances, material performance, and on-time delivery mean inside complex supply chains. A missed shipment or out-of-spec component has consequences that reach far beyond our dock door — and we engineer accordingly.
Our best automotive customers don't shop around because they know what they have in CPI.

Industry Support
How We Support Automotive OEM Programs
From prototype validation through high-volume production, CPI brings engineering depth and manufacturing discipline to every stage of your automotive supply chain.
Engineering
DFM & Cost-Down Analysis
Manufacturability review that reduces part cost and eliminates design-driven complications before tooling or production begins.
Precision
Tolerance Stack-Up Review
Engineering analysis to optimize dimensional callouts for production capability — reducing scrap and improving first-pass yield.
Materials
Material Selection Consultation
Guidance on carbide grades, alloy selection, and material pairings to meet wear, strength, and thermal performance requirements.
Development
Prototype & Production Ramp
Engineering support from prototype through validation and volume ramp — with consistent process documentation at each phase.
Lifecycle
Continuous Improvement
Ongoing cost reduction and process improvement initiatives across the component lifecycle — not just at initial quote.
Legacy
Legacy Component Redesign
Redesign and improvement of legacy components where design or material limitations are causing production or cost problems.

Tolerances & Precision
The Tolerances Automotive Demands — Delivered Consistently.
For grinding and EDM, we regularly hold ±.0002″ (5 micron). Our high-end milling and turning centers are dialed in to ±.0005″ (±0.012mm). Every dimension is documented at every stage — not just at final inspection.
Quality & Reliability
Process Discipline That Holds Up in an Automotive Supply Chain.
Each department has its own Keyence optical inspection devices, gauge pins, comparators, and surface plates. Every job is inspected multiple times before final QC. Inspection data is serialized and stored indefinitely — because in our shop, data is how we prove repeatability.
