Focus Capital Partners, the M&A Worldwide Partner in Ireland, advised  CFE Group on its sale to OneCPM.

CFE Group (“CFE”), an Irish-based aftermarket service, refurbishment, and technical support company for pellet equipment utilised within the animal feed, biomass, and related industrial markets across Europe, was acquired by CPM, a U.S. headquartered global manufacturer of industrial equipment for the food, animal feed and biomass sectors.

A business 30 years in existence, CFE was founded by Con Lynch and Pat Dennehy with a vision to become a premium pellet solutions provider offering leading aftermarket & refurbishment services to the European market. CFE developed a reputation for engineering and services excellence, along with serving its customers and market with an innovative ‘Cost Per Tonne’ service model. The business’s customer base serves some of the largest animal feed producers in Europe. 

CPM themselves were acquired by Rosebank Industries plc (“Rosebank”). Rosebank, a UK-based and London Stock Exchange-listed industrial group, acquired CPM, and the acquisition of CFE became CPM’s first acquisition immediately preceding its own acquisition by Rosebank.

CFE Group joined the ‘OncCPM’ family, and the acquisition will support the business’s continued growth through geographic expansion, while preserving the company’s reputation for service excellence. By joining the OneCPM family, CFE’s customers will gain access to expanded and dedicated equipment support from CPM, while maintaining the premium aftermarket service, refurbishment, and technical support service that they have historically received from CFE.
