The iron foundry, with its 300 employees, specializes in complex, large-scale components for off-highway vehicles and enjoys an excellent reputation among customers in the construction, agricultural and forest machinery industry. It was originally part of the GF Casting Solutions division, for which a divestment agreement covering most of its business was signed on 30 July 2025. Linamar, founded in 1966, today operates 75 manufacturing facilities in 19 countries with a workforce of about 34’000. The transaction value is approximately EUR 45 million.
"This divestment marks another milestone in GF’s transformation into a Flow Solutions company," says Andreas Müller, GF CEO. "It underscores our commitment to focus on our core business, while securing continuity for employees and customers of the iron foundry under Linamar."
