“The U.S. is the largest market for Linak, and I am excited to get started and bring my experience and background further into play,” said Jensen. “I am taking over from Magnus Conradsen, who has contributed to the strong growth of Linak over many years. I look forward to building on that foundation together with the talented team in the United States.”

I am confident that he is the right person to lead our U.S. organization into its next phase of growth and development.”

As part of his new role, Jensen will relocate to the United States and be based in Louisville, Ky, where Linak operates as sales company and has its largest production facility outside of its headquarters in Denmark. The Louisville location employs nearly 300 people.
