'''Computer Peripherals, Inc.''' ('''CPI''') was an American manufacturer of [[Printer (computing)|computer printers]], based in [[Rochester, Michigan]].

CPI's precursor, Holley Computer Products, was formed as a [[joint venture]] between [[Control Data Corporation]] (CDC) and the [[Holley Performance Products|Holley Carburetor Company]] in April 1962. Holley developed and produced a series of drum printers. In June 1964, CDC bought out Holley and partnered with [[NCR Corporation|NCR]] and [[International Computers Limited|ICL]] to form CPI in Rochester.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbi.umn.edu/collections/cdc/acquisitions.html |title=CDC Acquisitions to 1984 |work=Charles Babbage Institute}}</ref> The facility was located near Rochester Road and Tienken Road, immediately north of North Hill Elementary School.

In the early 1970s CPI also had a branch in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. This division made punched card readers and 9-track magnetic tape drives for both parent companies (CDC and NCR).
