Our Perspective
Whirl-Pak® has an impressive history and is known as the trusted brand in the industry with a reputation for best-in-class quality, reliable and durable products. Lincoln International’s deep understanding of the market position and business model, as well as industry trends and tailwinds, were key to optimally positioning the opportunity to attract strong interest. The knowledge of strategic buyers and thesis-driven private equity groups in the life science products sector allowed for a targeted, expeditious process. The sampling and testing market continues to be an attractive sector that is supported by numerous favorable tailwinds, including a heightened focus on testing and safety around the world. This transaction highlights Lincoln’s expertise within life science products and more specifically within specimen collection and testing applications.
