Lintec & Linnhoff Expands Latin American Presence with Lintec-Ixon Integration
Lintec & Linnhoff has taken another major stride in its global growth journey by officially merging Lintec-Ixon into its international network. The Brazilian company, now rebranded as Lintec & Linnhoff Brasil Ltda, marks a significant milestone in the group’s long-term strategy to strengthen its presence in Latin America and expand its manufacturing capabilities worldwide.
The move consolidates years of successful collaboration and shared innovation between the two companies, reinforcing Lintec & Linnhoff’s reputation as a global leader in asphalt and concrete plant manufacturing. This integration not only enhances the group’s operational efficiency but also sets the stage for faster customer support, broader product offerings, and new opportunities for employees across regions.
Deepening Latin American Roots
Based in Brazil, Lintec-Ixon has been a cornerstone of Lintec & Linnhoff’s regional operations for years, supplying both continuous asphalt mixing plants for international markets and concrete batching plants for domestic demand. With over 300 plants delivered since 2014, Lintec-Ixon has become one of the top five suppliers in Latin America’s booming construction and infrastructure sectors.
Around 30% of its production from Brazil is exported under the Lintec brand to markets such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. This track record of quality and reliability positioned Lintec-Ixon as a strategic player within the group’s network, making the merger a natural evolution rather than a sudden shift.
Group CEO Peter Isaac Chan said: “This is a testament to our long-standing relationship with Latin America. Together, we’re creating a stronger foundation to serve customers, with faster support, better coordination, and expanded opportunities for all stakeholders.” He continued: “Lintec & Linnhoff and Lintec-Ixon will henceforth operate as a unified organisation, combining resources, technologies, and talent to deliver even greater value.”
Expanding Capacity and Capabilities
Following the integration, Lintec & Linnhoff Brasil is gearing up for a major manufacturing expansion. Plans are already in motion to double its current production capacity and begin local manufacturing of Lintec’s globally recognised CSD range of containerised asphalt plants.
Peter Isaac Chan added: “Employees of both companies will gain new opportunities for development, innovation, and growth as the company builds a stronger and more resilient business.”
This move comes at a pivotal time for Latin America’s infrastructure development. Governments across the region are prioritising transport connectivity and sustainable urban expansion, creating rising demand for advanced asphalt and concrete production technologies. Lintec & Linnhoff’s investment in local production aligns perfectly with these priorities, positioning the company to deliver faster and more customised support to regional customers.
Strengthening the Export Vision
For Arthur Cotrim, Managing Director at Lintec & Linnhoff Brasil, the merger represents both a strategic consolidation and a platform for growth. He commented: “Our partnership with the Lintec brand dates back to 2014, and since then, we’ve seen strong sales and growing exports, so it makes sense to deepen our collaboration through this merger. We want to increase our export sales beyond 30% and boost our domestic production capabilities to meet ongoing demand for reliable, productive, and cost-effective plants that help construction projects complete on time and on budget.”
Brazil’s strategic location, established industrial base, and skilled workforce make it an ideal hub for Lintec & Linnhoff’s expansion into neighbouring countries. The company aims to use its Brazilian operations as a launchpad to serve the wider Latin American region more effectively, particularly as infrastructure investment accelerates in markets like Chile, Peru, and Colombia.
Innovation with a Global Heritage
Headquartered in Singapore, Lintec & Linnhoff brings over a century of engineering heritage to the table. The company’s portfolio includes its flagship Lintec containerised asphalt and concrete plants, as well as Linnhoff’s renowned asphalt mixing plants, each recognised for reliability, performance, and sustainability.
Its German engineering roots are evident in its precision-driven manufacturing standards, ensuring every plant meets or exceeds international environmental and efficiency benchmarks. Lintec’s patented containerised designs, built within ISO-certified sea containers, make transportation, installation, and maintenance remarkably efficient, a huge advantage for projects in remote or challenging environments.
Moreover, the company’s commitment to sustainable construction aligns with global trends towards greener infrastructure. Its technologies are designed to minimise emissions, maximise recycling, and optimise material use, helping customers meet tightening environmental regulations worldwide.
Global Expertise, Local Insight
The integration underscores Lintec & Linnhoff’s philosophy of combining global expertise with local market insight. This strategy allows the company to adapt its solutions to meet diverse regional needs while maintaining consistent quality and innovation.
With Lintec & Linnhoff Brasil now fully embedded into the global organisation, the company can tap into shared research and development capabilities, advanced digitalisation tools, and cross-regional supply chain efficiencies. The result is a more responsive, agile, and customer-focused organisation, one that’s ready to serve infrastructure projects of every scale.
Proven Track Record on Global Landmarks
Lintec & Linnhoff’s technologies have played an instrumental role in delivering some of the world’s most iconic infrastructure projects. Its plants have been used on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, The Palm Island in Dubai, Denmark’s Storebaelt Bridge, Malaysia’s Merdeka 118 Tower, and Singapore’s 1st Polder Project.
These projects demonstrate not only the reliability and efficiency of Lintec & Linnhoff’s equipment but also the company’s ability to adapt to complex technical demands, varying climates, and strict environmental standards.
Engineering the Future of Asphalt and Concrete
Lintec & Linnhoff’s range of products, from asphalt and concrete mixing plants to advanced pavement and concrete cooling technologies, reflects its commitment to driving progress across the construction sector. Each product is designed with precision engineering and crafted to exceed global standards for durability, environmental performance, and modular flexibility.
The company’s ongoing research into automation, digital control systems, and energy-efficient designs ensures that its future offerings will continue to push the boundaries of construction technology. This integration with Lintec-Ixon simply accelerates that innovation pathway by merging regional expertise with global capability.
Building a Stronger Future
With the integration complete, Lintec & Linnhoff is positioned to accelerate its growth trajectory in Latin America and beyond. The merger strengthens its operational backbone, empowers its employees, and enhances customer relationships through faster delivery and superior technical support.
By aligning its local manufacturing strengths with global engineering excellence, Lintec & Linnhoff is not just expanding its footprint, it’s redefining how modern infrastructure is built, one project at a time.
