Welcoming Jared Brown as Managing Director

CPC Makes Third Investment within Building Automation and Security Sector with AMAG Technology

CPC is pleased to announce its most recent platform investment in AMAG Technology, a global leader in high-security access control, identity, guest, and video management solutions. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, AMAG serves mission-critical, high-growth sectors such as data centers, healthcare, and education—industries where security, reliability, and scalability are paramount.

CPC made the investment in partnership with Shore Rock Partners, a critical infrastructure-focused private investment group founded by Ashton Wackym and Sebastian Levy, and BellTower Partners, a private investment firm founded by Kewsong Lee, the former CEO of The Carlyle Group. The investment in AMAG marks CPC's third investment in the sector, joining Street Smart and Thermo Systems, focused on providing building automation and security solutions to critical infrastructure end markets.

"AMAG is a strong brand with a rich heritage of serving customers in the most demanding security environments and high-growth critical end markets," said Taylor Moore, Partner at CPC. "We are especially excited to invest alongside Shore Rock. The partnership aligns with CPC's mission of supporting great businesses, talented founders and emerging managers."

Quantum Design Builds Leadership Position with Acquisition of Oxford NanoScience.

In January, CPC supported Quantum Design's significant acquisition of the Oxford NanoScience division of Oxford Instruments. This acquisition unites two industry leaders with a combined legacy of more than 100 years of experience and innovation and extends Quantum Design's leadership in cryogenics, materials characterization, quantum information, and microscopy. Oxford NanoScience was the original, founding division of Oxford Instruments. The business pioneered the world's first superconducting magnet and has been driving force in the industry. Their wide range of dilution refrigerators will allow Quantum Design to offer the tools and environments needed for a new world of quantum information.

"We are incredibly excited to support Quantum Design's team in bringing together these two leaders in the cryogenic sector," said Taylor Moore, Partner at CPC. "Quantum Design and Oxford NanoScience's global product suite and service offering enable advancement in the world's most exciting sectors such as batteries, quantum computing, semiconductors, nanotechnology, and photovoltaic technologies."
