November, 2015

Third Coast Capital Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to GSI Group in its acquisition of Lincoln Laser Company. Through our Strategic Acquisition Search services, we identified Lincoln Laser as one of a number of strategic targets for GSI Group who hired us to help support their plans to grow through acquisition. Our services included making contact with the company and maintaining a strategic dialog with its owners throughout the transaction process.

Lincoln Laser Company, based in Phoenix, Arizona, is a provider of ultrafast precision polygon scanners and other optical scanning solutions for the medical, food processing, and advanced industrial markets.
