Why CPE
A manufacturer, not a reseller
CPE was founded in 1978 as a connector and cable distributor. It became a manufacturer because its customers needed it to, opening plants wherever they were required. Today it designs, manufactures and distributes electrical and optical interconnect solutions.
Solving technical problems is what sets CPE Italia apart in the interconnect world: expertise, innovation and fast response, all at the customer’s service.
