SAN DIEGO, CA — MAY 6, 2026 — CP Group, a leading OEM manufacturer of material recovery facility (MRF) equipment with more than 450 installations worldwide, relocated its UL 508A-certified panel fabrication shop to a significantly expanded facility at 6774 Calle de Linea in San Diego, California. The new space, which neighbors the core manufacturing facility, totals 13,400 square feet, including 1,200 square feet of dedicated office area, which represents a more than sixfold increase over the 2,000 sq ft shop previously housed within CP Group’s primary manufacturing warehouse.

The expansion provides the electrical department with a purpose-built environment for panel assembly, wiring, and factory acceptance testing, while freeing additional floor space at the main manufacturing facility for core MRF equipment production. The UL 508A designation — which governs industrial control panel construction — remains central to CP Group’s commitment to delivering fully integrated, code-compliant systems built in-house rather than sourced through third parties.

Beyond expanded panel build capacity, the new facility establishes dedicated space for SCADA system development and electrical engineering R&D — areas where CP Group continues to invest as control system complexity grows alongside increasingly automated MRF designs. The co-located office space supports the electrical engineering team’s ability to develop, test, and iterate on control architecture in direct proximity to the shop floor.

“Our panel shop has always been a core differentiator — building controls in-house gives us direct accountability over system quality and integration. This move gives our electrical team the infrastructure to keep pace with the demands of modern MRF design and continue advancing the control systems and data collection our customers rely on.”

The relocation is part of CP Group’s broader investment in manufacturing and engineering capacity following its acquisition by Declaration Partners in 2025 and its subsequent acquisition of Recycleye, a London-based AI sorting technology company. CP Group now operates facilities in San Diego, Nashville, and London.
