About Us
CPI has a proven track record of successfully buying and integrating companies and is considered a “buyer of choice” among owners seeking to sell. Our senior management team has successfully acquired and integrated approximately 60 companies over the course of their decades-long careers.
Our goal is to retain the local management team of companies we acquire and to keep day-to-day decision making at the local level, while standardizing key business practices and providing strategic leadership and insight from our senior management team.
Prospective sellers can be confident of confidentiality and fairness throughout all stages of the negotiation process, a quick initial evaluation, and fast transaction execution. Our experienced management team understands the importance of continuity in operations and maintaining a strong customer and community focus during the integration process.
Testimonials
With every transaction, we pursue a win-win for our company and the acquired company’s owners and employees.
King Asphalt has worked extremely hard to build a legacy of quality and excellence over the last 49 years.

When you have spent your entire working life building and caring for the same company your parents did, its future is the biggest business decision you’ll ever make. Our family made the right decision for our employees and customers by becoming a part of CPI.

CPI listened, understood and responded to our hope that our employees continue in their current positions and have opportunities for advancement. They maintained the flow of quality materials to our customers. And they completed the sale in a timely manner. Working with people who value integrity and demonstrate a high level of professional competence brings value to the sales process.

My first desire for Everett Dykes Grassing was that it continue operating for many years and CPI provided the financial and operational support to make this happen. My second goal for our company was that we achieve our potential in middle Georgia by expanding via greenfield or acquisition and with CPI’s support we can meet this goal.
