What Dorssers does
Dorssers is an industrial manufacturer of pellet mill dies, roller shells, and roller replacement parts serving the animal feed and biomass industries, operating as a brand under CPM Holdings (California Pellet Mill). The company runs what it describes as the largest pellet mill die manufacturing facility in North America, producing in-house rolled ring forgings and finishing components through vacuum-hardened heat treat processes using North American steel. Its product portfolio spans replacement components compatible with all makes and models of pellet mills, plus a tiered equipment lineup of 1100, 7700, and 7900 Series pellet mills introduced in 2024, with the 7900 positioned as the workhorse high-end model.
Dorssers generates revenue through hardware sales of dies, roller shells, and equipment, distributed via CPM's global sales and field-service network that reaches more than 200 plants across 40 countries. Its go-to-market leverages the parent brand's aftermarket service infrastructure, with claimed field engagement of over 60,000 hours of on-site problem-solving. The 140+ years of combined industry experience within CPM is positioned as a key institutional asset supporting customer relationships. The company serves two primary verticals — feed production and biomass processing — where buyers prioritize equipment uptime, durability, and replacement-part lead time.
Operationally, Dorssers benefits from a forge-to-finish model that internalizes raw forging, heat treatment, and finishing, reducing supply chain exposure relative to fabricators that outsource heat treatment. The brand does not disclose its own revenue, pricing, or standalone financials; strategic capital access flows through the parent. The 2024 $400 million investment from Koch Equity Development into CPM Holdings signals available growth capital, and the 7900 Series launch points to a deliberate move from a parts-centric identity toward full equipment line participation.
