What We Can Do at LINCK — and How We Work
In the end, what counts at the plant: yield, throughput, availability. LINCK brings together four core competencies for this purpose. We plan plants and investments so that they suit the location. We keep service and spare parts set up in such a way that downtimes can be controlled. We improve processes and qualifications in the company. And with benchmarking, we provide the facts on which good decisions are based.

Plant Planning and Investment Advice
We don't start with a standard solution, but an honest inventory: What is your goal? Which raw material really arrives? What framework conditions does the location set? On this, we build a plant concept that suits your company — not the other way around.
Because we cover a broad portfolio of systems, we can compare variants, size them cleanly and set up the project in such a way that it does not fail due to interfaces later on. On request, we can take over the complete planning and implementation as a general contractor.
And we look at details early on that can really cost money later on: layout, material flow, expandability, logistics, infrastructure. This is not “advice on the side”, but part of our plant optimization right from the start.
Lifetime Plant Service
A plant is only as good as its condition in everyday life. That is why our work does not end with start-up. We support systems throughout their entire life cycle — with spare parts concepts that are based on real risks: What must always be available, what can wait, what is critical?
We keep over 900,000 spare parts in stock and can also respond by emergency delivery. However, it is not only the warehouse that is decisive, but the reliability behind it: clear delivery promises, defined services and a service structure that grows with you — even as the plant ages.
And because many service and maintenance topics take time in everyday life, we provide digital support via our MyLinck platform — so that information, processes and spare parts topics are available more quickly when it matters.
Process and
Production Consulting
If you want more output, it's rarely enough just to “make the machine faster.” The lever often lies in the process: stability, repeatability, tool condition, operation, sources of interference. We advise on the overall economic optimization of production concepts — not only technically, but also with regard to yield, downtime, quality losses and costs.
Some of this is very pragmatic: We train plant operators so that operational decisions are safer and processes are cleaner. There are also process optimizations and control functions that help identify deviations early on.
MyLinck also plays a role here: in the maintenance process, in planning interventions and in tool management — so that maintenance is more predictable and less happens “between door and hinge.”
Benchmarking
and Consulting
If you want to improve, you have to know where you stand. We make plant productivity constantly evaluable and check the effectiveness of the location — not as a game of numbers, but as a diagnosis: Where are you wasting time? Where do repetitive errors occur? Where does the configuration no longer meet your requirements?
We then compare your system with optimized ideal configurations and derive measures that work in real operation. Our basis: Experience from over 300 successful large sawmill projects. This helps you prioritize faster — and not get stuck in endless discussions about “nice to have.”
Our Promise to You!
We do not promise anything that cannot be redeemed in the company. Instead of general statements, you receive reliable promises, tailored to investment, risk and operational reality. That's less show — and more security in the end.
Plant Planning at LINCK:
How Concepts Are Developed
01
Understanding Values
When we plan a system, we don't start with the machine, but with the question: Where is value created in your sawmill — and what slows it down today? To do this, we go into the process together, looking at raw materials, material flow, interfaces and the productive core processes.
02
Designing Systems
In the next step, we translate these requirements into an engineering-based plant concept. We design layout, material flows, buffers and timing in such a way that they not only work on paper. Where relevant, we validate this mathematically via simulation.
03
Bringing in Experience
A point that is underestimated in many projects: Planning security comes not only from calculations, but from experience. We bring in knowledge from completed systems, particularly where there are typical problems later on: handovers, bottlenecks, tool and quality stability, or the behavior of the line in the event of faults. This shortens discussions and leads more quickly to solutions that are robust in operation.
04
Delivering Results
We are working with clear goals so that it doesn't “feel good” in the end. We define early on what “success” means in your project — such as maximum yield, stable throughput and efficient use of materials, energy and resources — and derive specific requirements for process management, plant layout and design.
05
Creating Transparency
What is also part of this right from the start: transparency in the company. We also plan integrated digital functions in the machine directly so that performance can be assessed. This does not mean “digitization for digitization's sake,” but data and evaluations that enable you to identify in everyday life where performance is being lost — and where targeted optimization can be made.
06
Implementation in Existing Buildings
And because not all projects take place on green fields, we also plan plant planning for existing lines: integration into existing lines, expansion and modernization. The yardstick is simple: as little downtime as possible. We achieve this through clean interface planning, clear conversion phases and a procedure that suits your production — not the other way around.
