Thirty years ago, LINAK U.S. Inc. was established in Louisville, Kentucky, marking a significant chapter for the company and founder and CEO Bent Jensen. Following its humble beginnings in a small garage in 1994, Jensen's decision to invest and expand resulted in LINAK U.S. contributing nearly a third of the global company’s sales three decades down the line. The decision to move beyond Denmark's borders and establish the first LINAK production plant outside of the country established the company's global reach and customer commitment.
Starting from a single building with 49,500 square feet, LINAK U.S. now encompasses over 360,000 square feet across three buildings, with room to expand on the vast 39-acre campus.
The company’s influence has been transformative in the US, helping to shape various industries with its technology. More recently, LINAK is helping move industries like mobile agriculture into the future with electrification, a trend that will continue for many industries as companies look to improve their applications as well as their overall carbon footprint.
Today's team at LINAK surpasses well over 300 members, each playing a defining role. According to the company, this growth and focus on people within LINAK has been fueled by the company’s passion for helping customers.
Looking ahead, Magnus Conradsen, president of LINAK U.S., sees this unique combination of local production and people, and global capabilities and knowledge as what sets LINAK apart.
As LINAK U.S. commemorates its 30th anniversary, the company looks back at a legacy of innovation and resilience but also forward to a future ripe with possibilities. Guided by its values, the company believes its position as an innovation leader and its ability to drive change across industries will continue to grow. One such example is the company’s commitment to sustainability and increased focus on evolving customer expectations centered on the environment. Another example is in the electrification of the industries the company serves, where its products and solutions are tailored to meet each customers’ needs and help transform them into cutting-edge companies of tomorrow.
