The company distributes its products through a network of hearth and patio dealers, appliance dealers, specialty retailers and distributors.
Chip Roellig, Managing Partner with Century Park Capital Partners, says, “Lynx has evolved into the leading luxury brand in the outdoor kitchen market. CEO Jim Buch and his team have done a terrific job executing on the opportunity to build a world class company in this space.”
Guy Zaczepinski, Managing Partner with Century Park Capital Partners, adds: “Jim and his team were able to transform Lynx from a well known trade brand to the hottest name in outdoor kitchens. With recent housing tailwinds and trends favouring outdoor living, Lynx will have a very bright future with Middleby.”
