CPM designs and builds highly engineered process equipment for the global food and energy industries. Its core products include equipment for animal feed, oilseed processing, and renewable fuel production, such as pellet mills that turn raw materials into uniform pellets used in various industrial processes. The company operates through a global network called One CPM, formed by steady acquisitions of specialized brands (e.g., Roskamp Manufacturing, Champion Products, Crown Iron Works, Century Extrusion, Innovative Pelleting Solutions) to offer a broad, integrated portfolio under private equity ownership. Unlike firms that rely on single-product lines, CPM combines multiple brands and machinery to serve multiple stages of processing across North America, Europe, and Asia. Its goal is to sustainably feed, fuel, and build a better world by providing reliable equipment that powers critical export, agriculture, and energy supply chains.
