U.K.-based investment firm Rosebank Industries plc completed its acquisitions of two U.S. manufacturers from American Securities LLC in transactions totaling approximately $3.05 billion.
American Securities announced May 28 that it completed the sale of Charlotte, North Carolina-based MW Components to Rosebank in a transaction valued at approximately $950 million. The deal followed American Securities’ May 12 announcement that it completed the sale of CPM Holdings Inc. to Rosebank in a transaction valued at approximately $2.1 billion, excluding a potential earnout tied to fiscal 2026 performance targets.
Charlotte, NC-based MW Components is a manufacturer of specialty fasteners, springs and precision components that serves more than 14,000 OEMs, distributors and aftermarket customers across the aerospace, medical, electronics, energy, agriculture, construction and diversified industrial sectors. The company operates through three divisions: Fasteners, Springs and Precision Components.
CPM, headquartered in Blaine, MN, designs and manufactures highly engineered process equipment and automation systems. Founded in 1883 as California Pellet Mill, CPM serves the animal feed, oilseed processing, renewable energy, food and industrial markets. The company has about 1,700 employees, 35 global facilities and a commercial presence in more than 100 countries.
Rosebank, listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker ROSE, was formed by former Melrose Industries executives and follows a “Buy, Improve, Sell” investment model focused on industrial and manufacturing businesses. The MW Components and CPM deals mark Rosebank’s second and third acquisitions, following its 2025 purchase of Electrical Components International, a manufacturer of electrical distribution systems, control box assemblies and other engineered components, in a deal valued at approximately $1.9 billion.
New York-based American Securities is a private equity firm focused primarily on North American companies in the industrial and B2B services sectors.
