Linx is a global product development and contract manufacturing company that provides integrated services from design and engineering to manufacturing and supply chain management. The company was founded in 2004 by Alan Rosenfield, who saw an opportunity to utilize Asian supply chains to benefit Western companies. It began as a supply chain consulting firm and evolved into an engineering-driven trading company by 2007.
Linx operates on a business model that integrates American innovation with Chinese manufacturing capabilities, managing the entire product development process from conceptualization to final production. This one-stop-shop approach is designed to eliminate inefficiencies commonly found in traditional product development. The company serves a diverse client base, including major enterprises in the medical, food and beverage, and consumer packaged goods industries. They specialize in creating custom electro-mechanical devices, advanced packaging solutions, and both electronic and digital products like IoT devices and data management solutions.
Over the years, Linx has expanded its capabilities significantly. In 2013, it brought industrial design in-house by opening a design firm in Chicago. This was followed by the integration of software engineering and user experience design in 2015, allowing the company to cater to the digital product landscape. Linx has also been recognized with multiple design awards between 2015 and 2019. The company has a global presence with multiple locations and continues to expand its advanced manufacturing capabilities, including industry 4.0-powered facilities.
