CCMP Capital

CCMP Capital was founded in 1984 as Chemical Venture Partners, the private equity arm of Chemical Bank. Through a series of mergers involving Chase Manhattan, J.P. Morgan, and Bank One, the group evolved into JPMorgan Partners. In 2006, the investment professionals separated from JPMorgan Chase to form CCMP Capital, an acronym referencing its predecessor entities Chemical, Chase, and JPMorgan.

The firm specializes in leveraged buyout and growth capital investments across a variety of industrial and consumer-focused sectors. Since its inception, the firm has invested approximately $12 billion in these types of transactions. While formerly maintaining a significant global footprint including venture capital and Asian divisions, these units eventually spun off into independent firms known as Panorama Capital and Unitas Capital respectively.

Headquartered in New York, CCMP has historically operated with a global reach, managing funds like the JP Morgan Partners Global Fund and CCMP Capital Investors II. The firm achieved significant scale in the mid-2000s, at one point ranking among the top 20 largest private equity funds globally. In recent years, it has remained active in mid-market buyouts, including notable acquisitions in consumer goods and healthcare services.
