Robertshaw US Holding Corp. and its affiliated debtors are in final wind-down under a confirmed liquidation plan, with the court entering a Final DecreeDkt. 1430 on June 8, 2026 that closed seven of the eight affiliate Chapter 11 cases while preserving the lead case (Range WD 1 LLC, No. 24-90052) for residual claims administration and litigation. The First Amended Joint Plan of LiquidationDkt. 857 was confirmed on August 16, 2024 and became effective October 1, 2024, implementing a sale of substantially all operating assets to a lender-backed purchaser and channeling remaining value into a liquidation trust for retained causes of action.
The debtors — a One Rock Capital Partners-owned global manufacturer of flow control components serving appliance, HVAC, and transportation OEMs across 14 countries — filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on February 15, 2024 in the Southern District of Texas before Judge Christopher M. Lopez. The filing followed a compressed liquidity decline: pandemic-era customer inventory de-stocking and unrecovered cost inflation eroded profitability, the company missed an approximately $18 million interest payment in September 2023, and a contemplated ABL refinancing with Invesco collapsed in November 2023. A May 2023 uptier transaction that reordered lender priorities and excluded certain creditors had already triggered intercreditor disputes. The Hewitt First Day DeclarationDkt. 19 detailed roughly $832.8 million in funded debt distributed across a seven-tranche superpriority term loan stack (First-Out through Seventh-Out) plus a smaller Mexican equipment-secured note.
The debtors arrived with a pre-petition Restructuring Support Agreement and sought same-day authority to use cash collateral and obtain postpetition financing. An Emergency Motion for Interim Cash Collateral and Final DIP FinancingDkt. 23 produced an Interim Cash Collateral OrderDkt. 111 on the petition date and a final order on March 21, 2024 authorizing a $56 million delayed-draw DIP term loan alongside continued cash-collateral use. The restructuring then centered on a sale of substantially all assets completed by late June 2024, with sale proceeds funding a $10 million Funded Debt Deficiency Pool and an $11 million General Unsecured Claims recovery pool under the confirmed plan. A settlement with sponsor One Rock Capital PartnersDkt. 845, filed under seal, resolved related plan issues ahead of confirmation.
Residual post-effective date work now centers on claims reconciliation and a GUC Trust litigation track. In the Alpine Summit Energy Partners adversary proceeding, the GUC Trustee secured Rule 54(b) certification of a summary judgment entered in his favor through an , clearing the way for appellate review, while the Post-Effective Date Debtors continue prosecuting claim objections in the surviving lead case.
