Milacron Holdings Corp. (NYSE: MCRN) has filed an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding a secondary offering. The company intends to offer 12 million shares with an overallotment option for an additional 1.8 million shares.

The underwriters for the offering are Credit Suisse, Barclays, Baird, Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan, KeyBanc Capital Markets and William Blair.

This company is a global leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of highly engineered and customized systems within the $27 billion plastic technology and processing industry.

Milacron maintains strong market positions across these products, as well as leading positions in process control systems; mold bases and components; maintenance, repair and operating supplies; and fluid technology.

Based on management estimates primarily based on industry surveys and publications from 2014, management believes that Milacron is the top manufacturer and supplier of plastic processing technologies in North America on a consolidated basis across the industry’s primary plastic processing machinery applications based on sales.

The company will not receive any proceeds from the offering. Instead the selling stockholders will receive all the net proceeds from the sale of shares.

Shares of Milacron traded early Monday at $18.05, with a consensus analyst price target of $20.50 and a 52-week trading range of $12.43 to $19.32.
