In a small shed in Lindhorst, Lower Saxony, the company founder, Bernd Thürnau, began programming the first building blocks with reliable technology a quarter of a century ago. The starting signal for today's successful cps Programmier-Service GmbH was given. After only a short time, the company expanded and moved into larger, modern buildings, and the "Tape & Reel" service, the sorting, separation and correct storage of bulk material or punched parts, was added to the module programming. From a partnership with the renowned manufacturer of sorting and feeding technology, afag in Amberg, a special exchange system of sorting pots was developed at cps, for which a patent application has also been filed.

For 25 years, cps has been a healthy company serving international customers and corporations in the automotive supplier, industrial automation and consumer product manufacturing industries. cps is large and professional enough to be a reliable partner for international companies, but also young and lean enough to live flexibility and customer orientation on a daily basis.

In terms of programming technology and tape & reel, cps will continue to invest in innovative systems and technologies in order to provide its customers with the highest quality at the latest level. After all, digitalisation is gaining more and more momentum. One example is the Internet of Things (IoT), which places enormous demands on the quality of programming and production and which cps takes into account through the exchange of ideas and information with customers and users.

Recently, in addition to component programming and tape and reel, a third pillar was added: engineering, which takes over robot and PLC programming in process and manufacturing automation. The services range from consulting and planning, simulation, programming and commissioning to training and service. cps is thus establishing itself more and more as a successful EMS service provider that understands, simplifies and successfully supports the production processes of its international customers.

cps owes much of its continued success and customer satisfaction to its highly qualified employees, who have worked at cps for many years and contribute their expertise and know-how. The company relies on regular training and modern workplaces and methods. A good working atmosphere is ensured by collegial company management, various additional social benefits and the right of employees to have a say.
