Congratulations to Superior Capital!

Lincoln International would like to congratulate Superior Capital and the management team at Dianne’s Fine Desserts for being recognized at The M&A Advisor’s 11th Annual Turnaround Awards. Superior Capital, a Detroit-based private equity firm, was awarded Divestiture Deal of the Year (Over $100MM) for the turnaround and sale of Dianne’s Fine Desserts in June 2016. Superior partnered with industry executives Mike Knowles and Dan Scales to acquire Dianne’s in a carve-out transaction from Heinz Foodservice in 2012. The Company achieved a tenfold increase in earnings over a four-year holding period.

“This award is a testament to the strength of Superior Capital’s investment platform and the quality of the Dianne’s management team,” said David Houser, Managing Director at Lincoln International. “We are honored to have worked with them on the sale of the Company.”

Lincoln acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Dianne’s Fine Desserts, working closely with Superior Capital and Management throughout the sale process to provide advisory expertise and manage the marketing, due diligence and negotiation phases of the transaction.
