Mission and Vision

Shaping the future through innovation and discovery

Since its inception, CPI EDB has been focused on scientific discovery that will empower customers to create the future. When CPI EDB’s predecessor company, Varian Associates, was founded in 1948, it had the stated purpose to “conduct general research in the fields of physical science of every kind or nature.”

That purpose informs CPI EDB’s mission today: to be a trusted global partner for innovative, reliable technology solutions that power, connect, protect and support a better tomorrow. CPI EDB focuses on serving its customers with a broad and deep portfolio of state-of-the-art products and best-in-class services that enable customers to plan for and meet the challenges of the future.

For more than 70 years, CPI EDB has been accelerating innovation in the markets it serves. The company’s products can be found worldwide in groundbreaking systems that power mission-critical defense systems that protect U.S. and allied forces. As it plans for the next 70 years, CPI EDB looks forward to continuing to shape the future through innovation and discovery.
