One Rock Capital Partners Expands Operating Partner Team with Addition of Roger Roundhouse

NEW YORK, December 16, 2024 – One Rock Capital Partners, LLC ("One Rock" or the “Firm”), a value-oriented, operationally focused private equity firm, is pleased to announce the addition of Roger Roundhouse to its team of Operating Partners, focused on industrial businesses. Based in Wisconsin, Mr. Roundhouse is currently serving as Interim CEO of Sensience, a One Rock portfolio company.

Mr. Roundhouse comes to One Rock with over 30 years of experience managing industrial manufacturing businesses. Prior to his role as Interim CEO of Sensience, Mr. Roundhouse served as CEO of CentroMotion, a global manufacturer of highly-engineered systems and components for the offroad vehicle and heavy duty truck markets that One Rock acquired in 2019 and subsequently sold in 2023. Mr. Roundhouse managed CentroMotion through a period of significant organic and acquisition growth, including the acquisition and integration of Carlisle Brake & Friction, a transaction that more than doubled the EBITDA of CentroMotion.

Prior to the formation of CentroMotion through a carve-out of the Engineered Components and Systems division of Actuant Corporation, Mr. Roundhouse served as the EVP and Segment President of that business unit. Mr. Roundhouse began his career at General Cable (now part of Prysmian), where he had numerous assignments of increasing responsibility, resulting in him ultimately serving as SVP & General Manager – Electric Utility Products, before he was recruited to join Actuant.

“Roger’s leadership in the formation and carve-out of CentroMotion was exemplary, and we look forward to partnering with him again, as we are confident that his leadership capabilities and guidance will continue to have a positive impact on our portfolio companies,” said R. Scott Spielvogel, Managing Partner at One Rock.

“Having experienced the value-added capabilities of One Rock’s Operating Partner team during my tenure as CEO of CentroMotion, I’m excited to be working as part of that Operating Partner team, exploring ways to drive positive change in industrial businesses,” said Mr. Roundhouse. “I am pleased to be leading Sensience through its current phase of growth and improvement while the business continues its search for a successor CEO.”

Leveraging the expertise of its Operating Partners has been an integral part of One Rock’s strategy since its inception. Roger Roundhouse joins a growing team, which now includes 30 Operating Partners.
