WAYNE, PA — Guardian Capital Partners sold Precision Roll Solutions to American Roller Company, exiting an investment in which the private equity firm expanded the manufacturer through acquisitions and operational integration.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Guardian acquired Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Precision Roll Solutions in 2022 and completed five add-on acquisitions during its ownership, transforming the company into a national platform serving customers in the packaging, consumer products, industrial, automotive and medical sectors.
Precision Roll Solutions manufactures engineered precision rolls, engraving and embossing rolls, print cylinders and related process components. The company also provides roll repair, refurbishment and machining services through multiple facilities.
Guardian said it repositioned the business around key customer accounts and priority end markets while integrating acquired operations under a unified operating model.
“When we partnered with PRS, we saw an incredibly strong core business,” Managing Partner Scott Evans stated. “Over our hold, it grew into a platform with a national footprint with broader capabilities, deeper customer relationships, and a stronger foundation for continued growth.”
American Roller said the acquisition expands its precision-roll and roller-coating capabilities, creating a larger manufacturing platform with a broader geographic footprint and opportunities for additional organic growth and acquisitions.
Baird and Piper Sandler advised Guardian and Precision Roll Solutions on the transaction. Goodwin Procter LLP served as legal counsel.
