About CPM
CPM is a manufacturer of process systems and machinery for the animal feed, food processing, oilseed processing, renewable energy and packaging industries. The portfolio includes pellet mills, hammer mills, roller mills, flaking mills, dryers, roasters, ovens, extruders, compounding systems, briquetting presses, and can washing and drying systems. In addition to manufacturing new systems, CPM offers automation, aftermarket services including spare parts, remanufacturing, field service and process optimization, as well as test centers and Innovation Labs. The company was founded in 1883 in San Francisco as Toulouse & Delorieux (later California Pellet Mill) and traces its roots back to Crown Iron Works (1878). With around 1,700 employees at 40 locations on four continents, CPM is represented, among other places, in Constance and Lauffen am Neckar in Germany as well as in Zaandam (Netherlands), Breganze (Italy) and several locations in the United Kingdom.
