About
Founded in 1993, CPI Vertex is a defense system integrator based in Duisburg, Germany working in communications & satcom, space.
CPI Vertex Antennentechnik GmbH, headquartered in Duisburg, Germany, develops, manufactures and supports high-precision antenna and ground station systems. Its portfolio covers ground stations and antennas for SatCom, TT&C, remote sensing, radio astronomy and deep-space and lunar missions, along with RF electronics, feed systems, reflectors, drive and control systems, and monitoring and control. Antenna sizes range from 5.5 m to 35 m, with fixed, mobile and transportable variants and Plug & Play systems prefabricated and tested in Germany. The company traces its roots to an antenna technology division established in 1964 within Krupp Industrietechnik GmbH. It was spun off as Vertex Antennentechnik GmbH on 1 January 1993, was part of the General Dynamics Group from 2006 to 2020, and has been part of Communications & Power Industries LLC since June 2020 within the CPI Antenna Technologies Group. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and services systems through integration, commissioning, training, maintenance, spare parts and retrofits. Recent projects include three 20 m antennas for Kongsberg Satellite Services' Lunar Ground Station Network, two tri-band ground stations at DLR Neustrelitz, and antenna systems for NILESAT in Egypt.
