NEW YORK, October 31, 2019 – One Rock Capital Partners, LLC (“One Rock”), today announced that one of its affiliates has successfully completed the previously announced acquisition of the Engineered Components & Systems (“EC&S” or the "Company") segment from Enerpac Tool Group, previously known as Actuant Corporation.
