CCP Celebrates 20 Year Anniversary

KANSAS CITY, MO, February 23, 2010 – Cook Composites and Polymers (CCP) celebrated their 20 year anniversary as a company on February 9, 2010. CCP was formed out of a jointventure partnership between Total Chimie of Paris, France and the Cook Paint and Varnish Company of North Kansas City, Missouri.

CCP is an industry leader to the coatings and composites markets. They have participated in the purchase or joint-venture partnerships of approximately 12 manufacturing and distribution companies over their 20 year history. These alliances continue to strengthen the company through product innovation; industry commitment and the educational leadership CCP is known for today.

There have been many highlights since CCP’s inception, but some of the most recent are: recognition in the area of “green” chemistry development, having received the 13th Annual Presidential Green Chemistry Award administered by the EPA in 2009. To further promote education in the industry, CCP opened the doors to a new technology training center in 2007. This facility supports the education of CCP customers, employees, and other professionals with industry related topics in both a classroom and hands-on environment. Many of the classes have been formed from their well known Applications Guide (Cook Book), now in the 11th edition. This valuable resource publication has served the industry for many, many years.

Quality products and superior customer service has made Cook Composites and Polymers (CCP) an international leader in the production and distribution of polyester gel coats, unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins.
