The goal of each individual production facility – which means it is also our goal – is to maintain the highest possible level of machine and system availability. Other very important factors include a very short response time and fast action in the automotive industry. That’s why personnel has to be able to quickly and efficiently solve a problem. Hence, Linamar needed to train their personnel.

Linamar sent their employees to take standard courses at the SITRAIN training centers on a regular basis. Most employees already had some background training in the field of CNC-controlled machines. The basics were already there and the objective was to build upon that with specific information about SINUMERIK, tailored to our needs. The content and a specific training plan was customized for Linamar Powertrain. 

Linamar Powertrain GmbH was founded in Crimmitschau near Zwickau in 2010. It belongs to Linamar Corporation, the second-largest Canadian automotive supplier based in Canada in Guelph/Ontario and it supplies parts and components for various automobile manufacturers as well as for the industry. 
The company is listed on the stock exchange, has over 44 production plants in North America, Europe and Asia - and employs a global workforce of approximately 18,000.
