Francis Hughes, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented, “Grant has served as president and CEO of CPS for the last 29 years, and as a key member of the CPS team for 35 years, having joined the Company within a year of its founding. On behalf of the Board of Directors, shareholders, employees and customers, we thank him for his remarkable service and leadership, remarkable both in terms of quality and duration. He will continue to provide leadership as a member of the Board of Directors.”

Grant Bennett commented, “CPS now begins a new chapter – Michael McCormack has my complete support and confidence as he deploys his considerable skills to lead CPS going forward, accelerating our growth. It has been a privilege to work with the entire CPS team as we have created leading-edge metal-matrix composite technology and become a fully-qualified manufacturer of critical components for the green economy serving a world-wide customer base. Most meaningful for me, we have created a culture of innovation, collaboration, integrity and respect where employees can rise to their full potential. I look forward to continuing my association with CPS as a director.”
