The Deal

Ron Bennett, Chief Executive Officer of RG, commented, “Lincoln approached our business with thoughtful industry perspectives and process acumen, building strong relationships with my management team. Their focus and insights allowed us to execute our day-to-day business while running an efficient process that resulted in a great outcome for the shareholders and employees.”

Our Perspective

Scott Molinaro, Managing Director in Lincoln’s building products sector team, commented, “The outdoor living space continues to be the most exciting vertical in building products, as homeowners and commercial tenants invest to expand usable square footage beyond the interior of the home. Additionally, synthetic turf and tile will continue to be a long-term winner as the product category benefits from continued material conversion and end users continue to adopt the product.”
