The History
The foundation of LINAK® dates back to 1907. Christian Jensen establishes the machine shop his grandson, Bent Jensen, inherits in 1976. Shortly after, he invents an electric linear actuator for a friend’s wheelchair, and he immediately sees the potential for something more.
In 1984, Bent Jensen changes the company name to LINAK – short for ‘Lineær Aktuator’. Learn more about the LINAK history.
