Linamar Corporation
 PROFILE
As a precision machined components maker, Linamar prides itself in getting only Cs. That is, focusing on automotive cylinder heads, crankshafts, camshafts, crankcases, connecting rods, and cornheads. Okay, a cornhead is harvesting equipment, but Linamar makes that too. Machined components, assemblies, and castings for the automotive industry account for the bulk of the company's sales. Linamar operates 29 plants in Canada, Hungary, Mexico, and the US. The US accounts for about 83% of sales. GM is Linamar's largest customer, contributing more than 20% of sales. The company has a joint venture with Canadian Wescast Industries to make cast iron parts in Hungary.
