CP Technologies, a designer and manufacturer of standard and custom rugged computer hardware, broke ground on its new 50,000 sq. ft. headquarters and manufacturing facility in Prescott, Arizona.

Expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021, the facility will be located near SR 89 and Deepwell Ranch/Crystal Lane. Since its acquisition by Israeli-based Aeronautics Ltd. in 2018, CP Technologies has expanded its offerings of rugged high-performance computer platforms, data links and LCD displays for the military, industry and commercial markets, including CP Aeronautics, an industry group focused on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle solutions. With its UAV-friendly business policies and the airspace required to deploy UAV solutions, Arizona was an ideal location to expand manufacturing and enable a new phase of growth for CP Aeronautics.

“CP Technologies’ selection of Prescott demonstrates the quality of talent, pro-business environment and strategic location the region provides to high-tech manufacturers,” said Sandra Watson, President & CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We thank CP Technologies for its significant investment in Arizona, one that will create hundreds of quality jobs for our residents and support our state’s global competitiveness.”

“I want to thank CP Technologies for choosing to locate and invest in Prescott,” said Prescott Mayor Greg Mengarelli. “We are proud of our quality of life, world class educational resources and excellent transportation links here in Prescott. All of these have allowed us to attract outstanding, high wage technology jobs like those that CP Technologies is bringing.”

“We are proud to be a part of the outstanding technology and business community here in Prescott,” said Michael McCormack, president and CEO of CP Technologies “I would like to thank Governor Ducey, the Arizona Commerce Authority, the City of Prescott, the Arizona Israel Technology Alliance, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Yavapai College and all of our partners who have welcomed CP Technologies and helped our relocation process run smoothly.”
