Milestone Highlights a Half-Century Legacy of Field-Tested Tools Shaped by Technician Feedback

CPS Products, Inc., a global leader in HVACR tools, instruments and service equipment, is marking its 50^th anniversary by celebrating a half-century of innovation shaped by one guiding belief: The best tools are built by listening to the technicians who use them.

Founded in 1975, CPS Products has spent five decades working side-by-side with HVACR professionals to turn real-world job-site challenges into practical, durable solutions. From early breakthroughs in leak detection to today’s advanced digital, wireless and A2L-ready platforms, the company’s evolution reflects the changing demands of the trade and the technicians at its core.

“Reaching 50 years is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, but it’s really a reflection of the trust technicians have placed in us—generation after generation,” said Brian Doyle, SVP & General Manager of CPS Products. “We’ve earned that trust by turning real users’ frustrations into engineered solutions—tools designed to help professionals work faster, safer and with greater precision in the field. For decades, CPS has been the brand technicians rely on at every stage of their careers and the one they confidently recommend to the next generation.”

Long before digital readouts and connected tools became common, CPS Products first made its mark with the launch of the LS780 Leak-Seeker^®, one of the industry’s earliest electronic leak detectors introducing a new level of accuracy. Designed with patented Ion-Pump^® sensor technology, it delivered dependable sensitivity with fewer false signals—setting a new standard in the field.

Its “built by technicians for technicians” mindset has continued to guide CPS Products’ growth. Over the years, the company expanded across essential service categories, introducing trusted solutions such as the:

• 5-2-1 Compressor Saver™, a category-defining hard-start device that remains a staple for protecting compressors and preventing failures;
• Pro-Set^® line of dependable, everyday service tools; and
• BlackMax^® family, CPS Products’ premium platform for digital, wireless and high-precision service tools.

Today, CPS Products offers a portfolio of nearly 600 SKUs spanning essential HVACR service categories—trusted in more than 100 countries and supported by a robust patent portfolio and award-winning product design—proof of a company that keeps innovating, year after year, for 50 years running.

While 2025 marks a celebration of CPS Products’ past, the company views its 50^th anniversary as a launch pad for what comes next—setting the stage for a year of continued innovation and growth. At AHR Expo 2026 in Booth #C4811, CPS Products will preview several highly anticipated additions to its BlackMax^® wireless lineup, giving attendees an early look at what’s ahead—with more to be revealed throughout the year.

“Everything we do still comes back to the same question we asked 50 years ago,” Doyle added. “What does the technician need to succeed on the job today and tomorrow? Then we build it to last—earning its place on technician trucks for the next 50 years and beyond.”
