Rollon

Rollon, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Vimercate (Milan) with offices in Germany, Holland, France and the United States, is active in the design, production and marketing of components for the industrial linear handling market.

In 2010, CPEF entered the capital in a leverage buy-out transaction, in co-investment with AXA Private Equity (now Ardian).

Rollon promoted the introduction of medium-precision guides, which are more flexible in application than high-precision ones. Technological leadership, competitive positioning and brand awareness at European level have enabled the creation of significant barriers to entry for new competitors.

In 2013, CPEF realized its investment, selling its stake to Chequers Capital and IGI Private Equity.
