American Securities has completed the sale of CPM Holdings to Rosebank Industries in a transaction valued at approximately $2.1 billion, marking a major exit for the private equity firm after an eight‑year partnership. CPM, headquartered in Blaine, Minnesota, is a global leader in highly engineered process equipment and automation solutions serving the oilseed, animal feed, renewable energy, plant‑based food and industrial materials sectors.
Since American Securities’ investment in 2018, CPM has expanded its leadership position across key end markets, strengthened its aftermarket and recurring‑revenue offerings and increased its presence in high‑growth areas such as renewable energy. The company also invested heavily in talent, technology and operational capabilities, including the development of Monarc, a proprietary technology designed to help customers produce clean‑label products more safely and efficiently at scale.
CPM operates 35 facilities worldwide, maintains a commercial presence in more than 100 countries and employs approximately 1,700 people. Rosebank’s acquisition positions the company for continued long‑term growth as it builds on the operational and strategic foundation established under American Securities’ ownership.
KEY QUOTE:
“We are incredibly proud of what the CPM team accomplished during our partnership. Together, we strengthened the company’s operational capabilities, expanded into new markets, and advanced innovative technologies that position CPM for continued long‑term growth.”
Michael Sand, Partner at American Securities
