Since the company began manufacturing linear actuators in 1980, it has grown rapidly. In 1984 the company changed its name to LINAK and shortly after LINAK expanded its marketplace to include foreign markets as well by opening its first sales office abroad, that is in Sweden in 1985. LINAK also expanded its facilities in Denmark as it added an electronics department in 1986, so that it could manufacture actuators as well as electronic controls to match. In the years hereafter a tremendous development within the electronics field took place. Hence, LINAK has expanded its physical frames 13 times since 1986.
LINAK's market abroad also increased further due to the establishment of the first subsidiary abroad, to be exact, in Great Britain in 1990. Since then LINAK has opened one or two subsidiaries each year all over the world. Over the past decade LINAK has also established close relationships with distributors in many countries. Moreover, the expansion continued into the US market, where a 5,000m² plant, containing both production and sales facilities was built in 1999. However, the factory only concentrates on producing CARELINE and HOMELINE products for the US market.
Owing to great success and demand for electrical linear actuator systems, LINAK had to expand its production and office facilities in Denmark as well. Therefore, LINAK constructed a new round factory building in 2002 next to the existing facilities at the Group Headquarters in Denmark. The new factory building, which is an autonomous division, concentrates on the DESKLINE and HOMELINE products.
