The acquisition by the Marantec Group in 2007 marked a new chapter, one that brought new resources and expertise to the table, propelling Link Controls to new heights. Over the years, Link Controls has not only expanded its workforce to 35 dedicated professionals but has also seen a substantial increase in its sales, reaching an impressive £11 million. This growth is a reflection of the company’s commitment to quality, customer service and the continuous pursuit of excellence. As Link Controls transitions to Marantec UK, it is not merely a change of name but a symbol of integration into a global brand known for its strength and unity. The core narrative of stronger #together resonates deeply with the company’s ethos, emphasising collaboration, shared goals and a collective drive towards innovation. From 1st August 2024, Marantec UK will stand fully integrated within the Marantec Group, embodying the group’s values and vision. This integration is more than a culmination of years of hard work; it is a beacon for the future, signalling a commitment to growth, unity and the relentless pursuit of being better together. As we embrace this new identity, we look forward to forging stronger relationships with our partners, delivering unparalleled solutions to our customers and continuing to set benchmarks in the industry. Link Controls’ journey is a narrative of success, a story of a company that has grown from strength to strength and as Marantec UK, we are poised to reach even greater milestones in the years to come.
