CHICAGO  Lincoln International acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Horizon Partners, Ltd. (Horizon Partners) in the sale of Display Products, a division of Xymox Technologies, Inc. (Xymox). The Display Products division of Xymox (DPD) is a leading manufacturer of Flexible Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) using a patented technology used to manufacture products for smart cards, semi-conductor test equipment, and high end wine cooler doors.

Lincoln International worked closely with Horizon Partners and the senior management teams of Xymox and DPD throughout every aspect of the transaction. Lincoln evaluated the strategic rationale for the deal, interacted with Citala and other potential acquirers worldwide, coordinated the due diligence process, and assisted with the negotiation of the purchase agreement.
