What CMP Products does

CMP Products Limited is a UK-based specialist designer and manufacturer of cable glands, cable cleats and related accessories, headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne and operating as part of the British Engines Group. The company was founded in 1957 (per firmographic data) and employs over 250 people, with nine international offices supporting active sales across six continents. Its product range spans approximately 106 cable gland variants and 12 cable cleat variants, organised around multiple international installation codes (IEC, NEC, CEC, Norsok, AS/NZS) and forms of protection (Industrial, Wet Locations, Ex d IIC Gb, Ex e IIC Gb, Ex nR IIC Gc, Ex ta IIIC Da, plus Group I Mining and American Class/Division). Notable proprietary technology includes the TruSeal polymer and metallic strain relief gland range, the RapidEx barrier union compound (PX780REX, PX784REX, PX789, PX789REX) for hazardous-area inner barrier sealing, and the Sentinel corrosion shield. The portfolio carries an extensive set of international approvals, including ATEX, IECEx, UL, c-CSA-us, KCC, NEPSI, CCO-PESO, TR-CU-EAC, INMETRO, RETIE, GOST-K, GOST-R and marine approvals from ABS, Lloyds, BV and DNV-GL.

CMP's commercial model is a hybrid of direct enterprise field sales through its nine international offices and an authorised distributor network, supplemented by the Product Finder and Cleat Selector online configuration tools. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, consistent with engineered-to-order industrial sales. The customer base is diversified across oil & gas and hazardous-area installations, mining (Group I), marine (shipboard and offshore), rail and transportation, food and beverage processing, data centre infrastructure and industrial robotics/automation. Recent strategic activity has included entry into the UK data centre supply chain via the North East Data Centre Hub consortium, a May 2026 sales leadership restructure under CEO Vince Patterson, and ongoing product innovation around the TruSeal sub-brand. No public revenue, cap-table or external investor information is disclosed; the company is privately held within the British Engines Group.

Core offering

CMP Products designs and manufactures cable glands and cable cleats for installation in industrial, hazardous-area, mining, marine and data-centre environments. The range covers multiple international installation codes (IEC to NEC) and includes polymer and metallic strain-relief glands (TruSeal), barrier unions using RapidEx resin compound, and cleats tested for short-circuit, lateral and axial loads, supported by online Product Finder and Cleat Selector tools.

Product overview

CMP Products operates a product-plus-modules portfolio rather than a single unified platform: the company is a specialist designer and manufacturer of cable glands and cable cleats, complemented by a structured accessory ecosystem and supported by online selection tools. The core offering is built around two flagship product families — Cable Glands (covering Industrial/General Purpose, Explosive Atmosphere, Group I Mining, and American NEC & CEC installation codes, with the TruSeal innovation line for strain relief) and Cable Cleats (metallic and polymeric, with High Voltage and Fire Rated sub-lines). These are flanked by Thread Conversions & Accessories (Stopper Plugs, Adaptors/Reducers, Breather/Drain Plugs, Unions and RapidEx Barrier Unions) and Cable Cleat Accessories, together with two online customer tools — the Product Finder and the Cleat Selector — and a restricted Knowledge Base login portal. The full range is organised around multiple international installation codes (IEC, NEC, CEC, Norsok, AS/NZS) and holds extensive global hazardous-area and marine approvals.
