The CP® Products Company is a “small shop” success story in an industry dominated by large corporations. G.O. “Chris” Christopher patented an aerial nozzle and joined R.R. “Bob” Evans, an experienced marketer and friend of 40 years, in the formation of The CP® Products Company. The founders were both 67 years old. In just a few short years, the two WWII pilots established CP® Aerial Nozzles as the industry standard. CP® Products then added an aerial check valve to its line and adapted the CP® concepts for ground application equipment. “CP® Products has revolutionized and simplified operations for ag pilots. Custom applicators see the same results with CP® Products’ nozzles and check valves for ground rigs,” noted Dick Reade, President of Mid-Continent Aircraft Corp.

Christopher and Evans are retired now. Carolyn Baecker, Evans’ daughter, is President and majority owner. The CP® Products Company tradition of innovation continues. Several new nozzles and check valves have been introduced recently. CP’s Sprayer Turbo Nozzle, the most recent addition to the line, won an ASAE 2005 AE50 Award for engineering design innovation.

CP Products’ company philosophy still centers on service to its customers and positive contribution to the agriculture industry. CP® works hard to give the best possible service to its customers. New product development begins with customer calls, comments, suggestions and criticisms.

“This industry is under unprecedented pressure to produce high quality crops at the lowest price and the least risk to the environment. It’s a tall order, but the more contact we have with farmers and custom applicators, the greater our faith in the industry and its ability to meet these challenges. It is a privilege to be participants in this industry,” stated Bob Evans, early in the development of the company. Every one at The CP® Products Company still feels the same way.
