“Lincoln was a valued partner throughout the transaction,” said Mark Richmond, Group Development Director of Ibstock. “Their extensive experience in the building products industry proved invaluable as they managed a global process to a successful conclusion.”

This transaction represents another important deal for Lincoln’s highly active building products team, which has now closed 40 merger and acquisition transactions globally since the beginning of 2015. “We were honored to work with Ibstock and Glen-Gery management on this successful transaction,” said Jeff Corum, head of building products at Lincoln. “Ibstock will now focus on their core markets in the United Kingdom, while Glen-Gery is the perfect first investment in the U.S. for Brickworks.”

Lincoln acted as the exclusive investment banking advisor for Ibstock and Glen-Gery in this transaction, working closely with the company’s management team throughout the sale process.
