CPEG buys Cyclonaire to add pneumatic conveying to its lineup
What's the deal? Carrier Process Equipment Group (CPEGDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →) has acquired Cyclonaire CorporationDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a York, Nebraska-based maker of pneumatic conveying equipment. Terms were not disclosed. CPEG, a global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, announced the deal via LinkedIn on November 9.
What's the endgame? CPEG wants to deepen its engineered processing and material handling offerings. Cyclonaire's dense, semi-dense, and dilute phase conveying expertise extends CPEG's reach into battery, rubber, cement, minerals, and rail sanding markets.
Why now? The addition complements CPEG's existing work in thermal processing, vibratory conveying, screening, feeding, mixing and blending, and dust collection. The company says bundling Cyclonaire's expertise with its wider engineering resources lets customers access more integrated system designs.
"Material handling is a critical link in nearly every process our customers run, and Cyclonaire has built an outstanding reputation for solving difficult conveying challenges," said Doug Schieber, president and chief executive officer of CPEG.
Scott Schmid, president of Cyclonaire, said the deal gives his firm "access to additional resources, complementary equipment, and new opportunities for collaboration."
The signal: The purchase continues a clear roll-up strategy. CPEG bought vibrating-equipment maker KinergyDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → in February 2024 and thermal-processing firm HebelerDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → in November 2024 — each broadening its product range. Cyclonaire fits the same pattern: gathering specialized manufacturers under one roof to sell fuller, coordinated systems.
