CMP Group

What CMP Group does

CMP Group Ltd. is a privately held Canadian corporation headquartered in British Columbia that manufactures and distributes marine products globally. Originally a subsidiary of Cominco and spun off in 1987, the company operates six manufacturing facilities across Canada, the United States, Italy, China, and Australia, and offers a portfolio of more than 10,000 products organized into corrosion protection (Martyr Anodes), ground tackle (Rocna, Vulcan, Titan anchors), dock and boat accessories (Dock Edge+), and steering and controls (Panther, TrollMaster, EZ-Steer, Octopus, Intellisteer), as well as CMP Quick Connect Couplings. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and US Mil-Spec compliance, and operates proprietary designs such as the patented I+V shank used in Rocna anchors.

The company pursues a multi-brand, multi-channel go-to-market strategy. It sells to large outdoor retailers such as Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's, distributes through global marine dealer networks, supplies OEM boat manufacturers, fulfills US Military and broader industrial contracts, and operates direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Aftermarket consumables (notably sacrificial anodes) generate recurring replacement revenue, while one-time purchases (anchors, steering systems, dock accessories) anchor the brand portfolio. The company has grown primarily through acquisition, including Pacific Die Casting (1993), CMT (2000), Dock Edge+ (2016), MarineTech/Panther (2020), and Grant Rope (2021), and sharpened its focus by divesting non-marine plumbing and roofing lines in 2020. Leadership is headed by CEO Don Hambly, with Michael Szwez promoted to SVP Sales & Marketing in March 2025 to support commercial execution across the brand portfolio.
