Rotunda Capital Partners ("Rotunda"), an operationally oriented private equity firm focused on industrial businesses, is pleased to announce the successful closing of Rotunda Capital Partners Fund IV, L.P. (“Fund IV”) with total capital commitments of $735 million.

On behalf of the firm, Managing Partners John Fruehwirth, Dan Lipson, Corey Whisner and Bob Wickham commented:

“We are humbled and proud to see the confidence the investors showed for our investment strategy of sourcing family-founder led companies and then applying our deep data and analytics approach to help them grow while driving operational improvements.

We are especially grateful for our existing investors’ strong continued support and thankful for the resounding interest from new, high-quality investors, especially given the current market fundraising dynamic. Fund IV investors included US and global institutional investors such as pension funds, asset managers, fund of funds, endowments, foundations, health systems and insurance companies as well as family offices and former RCP portfolio company executives.”

Fund IV completed its first investment Capital Machine Technologies, Inc. (“CMT”). CMT was sourced thematically and is a distributor and repair service provider of metal fabrication machinery including press brakes, robotic welders, metal cutting machinery, and other equipment to US manufacturers across the Southeast and Midwest.
