Markets

Diversification is one of our strategies for success.

We envision a future where we continue to be competitive and diversify into six strategic markets. It is a 100-year plan geared to a changing world with a vision for continued, long-term sustainable growth. This is a vision meant to drive a positive impact for all the Linamar stakeholders.

Mobility

Linamar has a strong history of providing efficient mobility solutions; precision manufactured metallic components and systems including machining, light metal casting, forging, and assembly to the automotive and commercial transportation industries. Driving more fuel-efficient solutions has been the primary driving force from a design and development perspective for the last decade. We are steadily growing our revenue in electrified vehicles; in 2020 sales to electrified vehicles grew 55% despite our overall light vehicle sales declining by 16%! As a percent of our sales, programs for electrified vehicles doubled in that one year to more than 6% and we expect them to hit 50% of our light vehicle revenue by the end of the decade. New business wins have steadily been shifting toward electrified vehicles as evidence of that transition. In 2020 they represented nearly 1/3 of new business secured. We are laying the foundation to be a top competitor providing products and solutions for the electric vehicle markets, powering the future of electrified mobility.

Infrastructure

Linamar’s Skyjack OEM division is powering the Mobile Access industry by providing highly engineered, high-quality Aerial Work Platform (AWP) solutions. Our global Infrastructure requires safe, reliable products that also increase construction site productivity – and that is what Skyjack provides with its Vertical Mast Lifts, Scissor Lifts, Booms and Telehandlers. Our focus here is on telematics and digitization to drive more efficient management of the fleet as well as power savings through additional electrification and other weight and power reduction initiatives.

Food

Linamar’s MacDon and OROS subsidiaries are powering the future of agriculture, equipping farmers with high-quality machinery such as header attachments, self-propelled swathers, pick-up headers and hay products, that seek to increase farm productivity in order to more efficiently feed a growing global population. Our focus here is precision agriculture – use only what you need where you need it, to dramatically reduce the need for water, fertilizer, and other products in the field. Increasing crop yields is another important strategy to reducing the environmental footprint of putting food on the table.

Age

An aging global population requires a Medical Device supply chain that must evolve, increase efficiency and provide more competitive healthcare solutions. Linamar has demonstrated its ability to apply its scale and manufacturing expertise throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by rapidly entering the production of ventilators and UV disinfectant units. The company is also in the launch phase of two new contract manufacturing programs for Synaptive Medical. Linamar is Synaptive’s manufacturing partner for its surgical automation system and MRI solution. Over the long term, Linamar expects to further diversify into this space and provide meaningful contributions to the Age & Medical Device market. We think there is ample opportunity to drive improved energy efficiency in medical devices by addressing size, digitization, and automation.

Power

The globe’s increasing need for Energy and Linamar’s prioritization of Green Technology offerings provides a significant opportunity for the company and the planet. Linamar has been involved with major wind and solar projects in the past. As renewable energy sources continue to increase their share of the market, new innovations will improve the competitiveness of these solutions with that of fossil fuel-based energy sources. Linamar intends to be a player in that transition to a greener future of Power.

Water

The world will have a great need for clean water access, increased conservation and more decentralized systems in the future. It’s a very long-term strategy, but Linamar is excited about the opportunities to play a role in the development of a better global water infrastructure.

Mobility

The Mobility segment is focused on propulsion systems, structural and chassis systems, energy storage and power generation for both the global electrified and traditionally powered vehicle markets, and is subdivided into three regional groups and one global product group: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the newly formed Structures Group. The Regional Mobility groups are vertically integrated operations combining expertise in light metal casting, forging, machining and assembly.

The Linamar Structures Group offers competitive lightweight innovations for safety-critical components and systems for the global mobility market. In addition, the eLIN Product Solutions Group focuses on Electrification and McLaren Engineering provides design, development, and testing services for the Mobility segment.
