Why CPI

Engineered to Reduce Downtime,
Not Just Supply Parts.


CPI operates as an engineering-focused manufacturing partner for packaging OEMs and automation equipment builders. We work directly with engineering, maintenance, and production teams to improve component durability, reduce downtime, and ensure consistent machine performance across demanding production environments.

With decades of experience manufacturing precision components for high-cycle industrial equipment, we understand the importance of wear resistance, tight tolerances, repeatability, and fast turnaround when equipment uptime directly impacts production output. Packaging lines don't run on components that fail on a predictable schedule — we engineer to extend that schedule significantly.

When a packaging line goes down, every hour costs more than the parts. We help you plan around that — not react to it.

How We Support Packaging Equipment Programs

From OEM component builds to MRO replacement parts, CPI brings engineering rigor and fast turnaround to packaging equipment reliability.

Engineering

DFM & Cost-Reduction Analysis

Manufacturability review that reduces part cost and eliminates design-driven failures before components go into production equipment.

Durability

Wear Component Redesign

Material and geometry optimization for components that wear out too quickly — replacing short-lived parts with engineered solutions that last significantly longer.

Precision

Tolerance Stack-Up Review

Dimensional analysis to ensure machine reliability and repeatability — especially critical in high-speed forming, sealing, and filling applications.

Materials

Material Selection for Application

Expert guidance on carbide grades, stainless alloys, and engineering plastics for abrasion, chemical resistance, and temperature conditions specific to packaging environments.

MRO

Replacement & Legacy Parts

Replacement components for legacy equipment where the OEM no longer supports the part — reverse engineered to match or improve on original specifications.

Lifecycle

Lifecycle Cost Reduction

Ongoing initiatives to extend component life, reduce replacement frequency, and lower the total cost of ownership for your packaging equipment fleet.

Tolerances & Precision

The Tolerances That Make Packaging Equipment Reliable.

For grinding and EDM work, we hold ±.0002″ (5 micron). Our high-end milling and turning centers achieve ±.0005″. In packaging, a few tenths of variance translates directly to seal failures, dosing errors, or jam-prone assemblies. We hold the numbers so your machine doesn't have to compensate.

Quality & Reliability

Documented Process Quality That Supports Fast Replacement Cycles.

Each department runs its own Keyence inspection devices, gauge pins, and comparators. Every job is inspected multiple times before final QC. Inspection records are stored indefinitely — so when you need to reorder a replacement component, the specification is already documented and ready to run.
