Company History
LINEX history means over 50 years of business operation, when a company from a local manufacturer of steel cables has become a leading on the domestic market manufacturer of automotive control cables.
Beginning in 1963, the company has been opened by Stanislaw Kasprzycki, who in a small workshop, located in Czestochowa at Warszawska Street, on self-constructed machines has started and developed the production of semi-finished products for the production purpose of automotive control cables- steel wires, Bowden conduits and flexible shafts. In 1981, he passed to his son Wojciech Kasprzycki a well-operating workshop. Based on this solid foundation, the new owner in 1983 decided to start production and therefore to enter the market of finished automotive control cables. The selected production profile is still the primary branch of LINEX company’s business operation.
Since 1990, with the change of Polish political system, the company has been developing dynamically. A large and sudden increase in demand for its products caused the need to expand the production surface, which in 1993 resulted in the transfer of the manufacturing plant of the company together with its head office to the newly purchased building at Rejtan St. 15. This was the time when the brand was officially created and the name LINEX was given to the company.
In subsequent years, LINEX has been developing its operation, continually expanding both the range of products and entering new markets, as well as developing the infrastructure and organization, while ensuring higher standards of management, operation and quality.
The following turned out to be the mile-stones in the history of the company:
Tradition, development and quality – these three words in short describe the history of our company, which thanks to a coherent vision of its owners, their dedication to the development and consistency in the quest to achieve the highest quality of products, has made LINEX a brand recognized all across Europe.
