CMP Corp. Names Ben Harrison President and Chief Operating Officer


Oklahoma City, Okla. (Aug. 28, 2007) - CMP Corp., the world's largest independent producer of HVAC and refrigeration compressor parts, announced today Ben Harrison has been selected as the company's newest president and COO. A long-time employee and former CMP Vice President, Harrison is only the second person to hold the presidency since Oklahoma City-based organization opened its doors in 1966.

Harrison brings to the position a wealth of manufacturing and business experience. He is a 28-year veteran of CMP who has worked in all areas of the business. Harrison holds a Bachelor of Science in management from Central State University (now University of Central Oklahoma) and is a resident of Norman.

"I am honored to be chosen as President and COO of CMP," said Harrison. "The company has grown significantly in the last 10 years, but our commitment to service has not changed. I am proud to lead CMP as it continues to expand into new markets and new realms of manufacturing. "

Harrison's appointment to president is one of many strategic changes to take place at the 41-year-old manufacturer. Over the past few years, CMP has experienced unprecedented growth, positioning the one-time single person local operation to a world leader with 125 employees. Last year, the company acquired local custom manufacturer Glen Tool Inc., enabling CMP to add a custom parts division to its growing client services. The new division serves the automotive, valve pump, oil field drilling tools and instruments, and electronic industries.

"Ben Harrison's selection as president creates an exciting opportunity for us to develop CMP into one of the premier manufacturers of specialized parts for a quickly increasing customer base," said CMP CEO Jon Croy.

To keep up with its expansion, CMP is currently adding another 40,000 sq. feet to its Oklahoma City headquarters, enabling the company to decrease its already rapid distribution times to clients in 106 countries. Additionally, it has broadened its manufacturing scope to include parts for refrigerated delivery vehicles.
