CPM Roskamp Champion

What CPM Roskamp Champion does

CPM Roskamp Champion, operating through its legal entity CPM Holdings Inc., is a privately held industrial machinery company founded in 1880 and headquartered in St. Charles, United States. The company designs and manufactures processing equipment and complete process systems for food, fuel, and advanced materials end markets, with a stated #1 market position in oilseed, animal feed, and thermal processing equipment and aftermarket parts. Its portfolio spans equipment categories — pelleting systems, particle size reduction, crush and specialty equipment, flaking, roasting/drying/baking, extruders and compounders, can processing, and briquetting — combined with full process lines covering oilseed preparation and extraction, grinding and pelleting, pretreatment/refining/oleo, plant-based proteins, specialty extraction, and conveyor systems. The company markets through multiple retained heritage brands including Beta Raven, Century Extrusion, Ruiya, Crown, Extricom, IDAH, Proline Engineering, and Roskamp, and operates 40 facilities across four continents supporting a globally installed base of more than 60,000 machines.

CPM's underlying technology includes proprietary platforms such as the trademarked Monarc Clean Oilseed Processing system, which uses a hexane-free architecture for sustainable oil extraction, and Crown Lifecycle 360, which provides automation and lifecycle management for installed equipment. Digital service layers include the myCPM aftermarket portal and the myinsights analytics platform, paired with broader Automation Solutions that cover efficiency optimization, employee safety, energy usage, product quality improvement, and predictive maintenance. The company also operates full-scale Innovation Centers and test laboratories for R&D and process development.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales — customized, quote-based process lines and individual machines — with recurring aftermarket parts, services, retrofits, and automation subscriptions tied to the installed fleet. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise field sales globally, supported by multi-language digital channels and event-led demand generation. CPM reports roughly 1,700 employees and serves a horizontally diversified set of customer segments spanning Feed & Food (including animal feed, aqua feed, pet food, and plant-based protein), Green Energy (sustainable aviation fuel, biomass, renewable fuels, and waste processing), Advanced Materials (recycling, rubber, compounding), and Sustainable Packaging (beverage, food packaging, aerosols). Recent strategic activity includes the acquisition of CFE to bolster EMEA aftermarket and refurbishment capabilities and targeted expansion into biomass and bioenergy markets in Southeast Asia.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Bühler Group: Swiss-headquartered global leader in processing equipment and solutions for food, feed, and advanced materials. Directly comparable to CPM across pelleting, particle size reduction, extrusion, and oilseed processing.
• ANDRITZ Group: Austrian industrial group supplying equipment and services for feed, biomass pelleting, and oilseed processing through its Feed & Biofuel division. Overlaps CPM's core hammer mill, pellet mill, and biomass handling lines.
• Amandus Kahl: German specialist in pellet presses and feed processing equipment. Direct competitor to CPM in pellet mills and a long-standing specialist in compound feed and biomass pelleting.
• Van Aarsen: Dutch manufacturer of feed milling and pelleting equipment. Closely competes with CPM's pelleting systems, hammer mills, and feed plant automation offerings.
• Clextral: French twin-screw extrusion specialist serving food, feed, and green chemistry markets. Direct competitor to CPM's Century Extrusion and Ruiya extrusion product lines.
• Bühler Aeroglide: Thermal processing equipment (dryers, roasters, coolers, ovens) for food, feed, and industrial customers. Direct competitor to CPM's Roasting, Drying & Baking product category.

Broad incumbents

• GEA Group: German industrial group providing process technology for food, dairy, and feed industries. Larger, broader portfolio that overlaps CPM's food and feed process systems but extends into dairy and pharma separation.
• Alfa Laval: Swedish industrial incumbent supplying heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling equipment. Adjacent to CPM in oilseed refining and biofuel pretreatment equipment, though broader and more diversified across process industries.

Emerging players

• Steeper Energy: Emerging technology provider in biomass-to-fuel processing relevant to CPM's Green Energy vertical. Complementary in the renewable fuels ecosystem rather than a direct equipment competitor at scale.

Regional players

• IDRO Group: Italian industrial drying and processing equipment manufacturer with overlap in oilseed, feed, and biomass drying. Comparable in thermal processing but smaller scale and primarily European footprint.
