About CPI
CPI – Compressor Products International is an international manufacturing and service company for the compression industry, with its origins dating back to 1897 as France Compressor Products. The company develops and manufactures components for reciprocating compressors, including compressor valves (Hi-Flo™ RS/VP/RD, Ported Plate Valves), piston, packing and wiper rings as well as lubrication systems with lubrication monitoring. Proprietary materials such as CPI192 and thermoplastic valve plates stand for sealing technology for demanding applications, including high pressures in hydrogen compression. The portfolio is complemented by engineering support and field service for operators of compressor systems. CPI is part of the Howden group, which belongs to Chart Industries, and serves customers worldwide from locations in the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France and China.
