Linamar Corporation

"From a single lathe in my father's basement to a multi-billion dollar global manufacturing company, Linamar has come a long way in our short history. Today the company operates 61 manufacturing facilities around the world. Our precision products provide the light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, energy and industrial OEM markets with powertrain system solutions. Our Skyjack brand is a global leader of aerial work platforms to the construction and access markets. We are a diversified manufacturing company powering motion, powering work, powering lives. I'm extremely proud of the organization we have built over those years and I'm very confident in what the future holds for Linamar's customers, employees and its financial stakeholders."

At the core of Linamar's operations is the Stepping Stool. It is an analogy that signifies a stool with three legs. Those legs represent the Customer, the Employee and the Financial stakeholders who each have a vested interest in the long term success of the company.
If not in balance at all times, a 3-legged stool is unstable and will eventually fall over. Linamar's Stepping Stool is focused on balance.   

Philosophy:

A balanced approach to business that ensures all stakeholders' success

The Stepping Stool analogy helps to focus our decision-making and management practices on providing the most benefit to all of our key stakeholders.

Performance Measurement System:

A set of common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from each of the 3 stool legs drives operational performance across the entire global organization.
