About Us

History

Formed February, 1981. CPC introduced the now industry-wide standard B-25, B-12 and Low Specific Activity (S/T LSA) metal storage and shipping containers to the nuclear industry. B-12’s and B-25’s revolutionized radioactive waste handling. Understanding the needs of the nuclear industry, CPC evolved to a worldwide leader in not only metal containers, but advanced on to volume reduction systems soon followed by decon systems, sorting systems, glove booths, fume hoods, custom designed systems, and equipment. CPC has patented many products: Seal Loc Clip (tamper proof closure mechanism), KELLY Decon Systems, etc.
