DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CPC
(Colder Products Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) and a leading manufacturer of
connection technologies used in biopharmaceutical processing,
medical, thermal management and industrial applications, announces
the opening of its new global headquarters in Roseville, Minnesota. The new facility
accommodates significant growth in customer demand for CPC's
innovative products, particularly for biopharmaceutical processing
and thermal management applications. To support the company's
growth, CPC's local employee base has increased 50% in the last two
years.
The new 132,000-square-foot headquarters includes expanded
manufacturing and innovation space and a larger Class 7 cleanroom,
which is expected to be operational by year's end following
certification. This expanded capacity and capability will enable
CPC to continue its growth as a trusted partner providing
world-class innovative fluid management solutions for customers who
are world leaders in their markets.
"We've been very successful by focusing on connectors for fluid
management in a wide range of industries," said Janel Wittmayer, President of CPC. "Our
engineers address fluid-related requirements so customers can
concentrate on their finished products or systems. This early
side-by-side collaboration means we gain knowledge of their
industry and become a go-to resource."
The company's work in biopharma and thermal management (liquid
cooling of electronics) began with custom designs and small product
portfolios a decade ago. Today, CPC's solutions in each of these
categories are now industry standards.
Wittmayer notes that connectors are often critical to ensuring
that equipment and systems work properly. "We facilitate secure
fluid delivery and help avoid leaks that could result in equipment
malfunction or damage, or exposure to contaminants during
manufacturing or patient care," she said. "The stakes are high so
companies rely on our expertise."
While establishing the new facility, the company also has been
navigating through the pandemic. Many CPC products are used in
applications related to COVID-19 care such as ventilators, vaccine
production, lab testing equipment and ambulance disinfection
systems. CPC's production teams are operating at the new site with
COVID-related safety precautions in place, while most office-based
employees continue to work from home.
"Customers are already benefitting from the enhanced
manufacturing flexibility, versatility and capacity of the new
facility," said Janel Wittmayer,
President of CPC. "When the time is right we will welcome our other
employees to the new space. We are excited about the future as we
transition to this new facility and continue serving our growing
customer base with world-class capabilities."
About 480 of the company's 600 employees are based in the new
facility. In June 2020, the company
was named one of Minnesota's "Top
Workplaces" for its employee satisfaction and engagement.
CPC continues to operate an existing Class 7 cleanroom in
Minneapolis and a manufacturing
and customer service site in China. The company also maintains a customer
service center in Germany, sales
offices in 13 countries, and worldwide engineering resources.
