Established in 2011 by Paul and Michela Murphy, CPL was a UK distributor for Klubb, until the France-based vehicle mount specialist acquired the company in 2018. CPL now has one of the widest product ranges in the country.

Commenting on the new partnership, CPL’s managing director Paul Murphy, said, “We have seen incredible growth in CPL over the past few years and to help with this continual success I wanted a quality product that could be sold and maintained by us without impacting our production. I was impressed with the Almac product and its quality. Once I visited the factory and met the Almac team my mind was made up, Almac is a perfect fit in the CPL portfolio and I’m really excited for 2022 and beyond‘’.

CPL, which has achieved numerous quality certifications, including ISO 9001, HEA (Highways Electrical Association), and from IPAF and VCA, will offer sales and technical service across the UK for AlmaCrawler products. 

AlmaCrawler and CPL signed the agreement following visits to both their headquarters. Italy-based AlmaCrawler’s general manager Andrea Artoni, said, “We are delighted to partner with CPL for our AWP line in the UK. Through this partnership we will consolidate our presence throughout the UK, strengthening our sales and support service for the Bibi, Jibbi and Billennium products that our customers have come to appreciate.

“We strongly believe this new partnership with the CPL team will create great results since we share core values and operate with the same professionalism and determination.”
