British investor Rosebank Industries said on Tuesday it would buy two U.S.-based industrial businesses, MW Components and CPM, in a deal worth $3.05 billion.
- The deal is the next major step in Rosebank’s “buy, improve, sell” strategy – turn around an acquired business before selling it on at a higher price.
- It marks Rosebank’s biggest deal since its 2025 acquisition of U.S.-based wire‑harness producer Electrical Components International for about $1.9 billion.
- Deal is expected to be funded by an equity raise of 1.9 billion pounds ($2.53 billion) and new debt
- Rosebank in February said it was in advanced talks with processing‑equipment supplier CPM and precision‑components maker MW Components, which are owned by funds managed by American Securities
- The British company, which went public on the Alternative Investment Market in 2024, plans to move to the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market in the second quarter
- Separately, Rosebank reported an adjusted operating profit of $57 million for 2025. It posted an adjusted operating loss of $2 million for the seven months ended December 31, 2024.
