LINXIS Group

Leading player in the industrial equipment market for the bakery, pharma and cosmetics industries

At the time of exiting, LINXIS (“the Group”) was a global leading manufacturer of industrial equipment for the food, pharma and cosmetic industries, focusing on the critical steps of the production processes.

Founded in 1988, the Group offered state-of-the-art service and solutions through its four brands. The Group’s strength stemmed from its global footprint, strong focus on innovation and research and development, as well as industry-leading product designs which provided maximum value to their customers.

IK Partners acquired a majority stake in LINXIS Group from Equistone in October 2017 which was subsequently sold to Hillenbrand, Inc. in July 2020.
