American Securities has agreed to sell CPM Holdings Inc and MW Components to Rosebank Industries in a $3.25 billion transaction. The deal, expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, marks the exit of American Securities from two manufacturing companies it acquired in 2017 and 2018.

Headquartered in Blaine, Minnesota, CPM manufactures process equipment and automation systems, while MW Components, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, produces bespoke fasteners, springs, and precision metal components. American Securities invested in MW Components in September 2017 and CPM Holdings in November 2018, building both companies into durable platforms for sustained success under the leadership of Dave Webster at CPM and Tom Amato at MW Components.

Michael Fisch, founder and CEO of American Securities, praised the management teams for their exceptional work in developing the businesses. Financial advisors Baird, Evercore, and Goldman Sachs, along with legal advisors Weil and Hunton Andrews Kurth, are facilitating the transaction. With over 140 years of history since its founding in 1883, CPM's sale represents a significant milestone in the industrial manufacturing sector.
