British investor Rosebank Industries is advancing negotiations to acquire US firms CPM and MW Industries for $3.05 billion, marking a significant expansion of its transatlantic investment strategy. The London-listed firm plans to fund the transactions through an equity raise of approximately £1.9 billion ($2.59 billion), supplemented by debt financing.

This potential deal would represent a material scale-up in Rosebank's investment profile following its $1.9 billion acquisition of Electrical Components International in August 2025. The transaction would crystallize value for American Securities, the current owner of CPM and MW Industries. Separately, Rosebank confirmed plans to transfer its listing from London's Alternative Investment Market to the Main Market in Q2, signaling confidence in its growth trajectory.

The potential disposal highlights continued appetite from listed investment vehicles for US industrial and manufacturing assets at scale, even amid broader market volatility. For private equity sellers, this deal demonstrates that well-positioned industrial businesses remain attractive targets for strategic buyers with access to capital markets. The transaction would further establish Rosebank as a significant player in the US industrial sector.
