LOCATIONS
Since the founding of the Lindner tractor factory, the company has been based in Kundl in Tyrol. In addition to the company headquarters - the technology center - both the factory and the Lindner innovation center are located here. Since 2018 there has also been a location in France with the competence center in Blotzheim.
Werk & Technologiezentrum
The new technology center in Kundl was opened in 2008. It is the interface between Lindner, its customers and international development partners. The building is constructed as a low-energy construction and is equipped with a computer-controlled shading and air conditioning system. The development hall, the technical offices as well as marketing and sales are housed there. A groundwater heat pump provides heating and cooling. The ventilation of the rooms is controlled via presence and CO2 detectors.
Innovationszentrum
In 2014, Lindner opened its new innovation center in Kundl as a multifunctional sales, training and customer center, where particular emphasis was placed on sustainable construction. The building materials come from the region, and the energy-saving components mean the building almost reaches passive house standards. A photovoltaic facade generates environmentally friendly electricity for lighting with particularly economical fluorescent tubes and LED spotlights. A highlight in the new building is the Lindner Museum with an innovation gallery: There, Lindner shows highlights from the company's 70-year history. The spectrum ranges from vintage tractors to exciting interactive elements.
Lindner France SAS
In 2018, the Lindner France competence center was officially opened in Blotzheim in Alsace. Blotzheim is located in the border triangle of France, Switzerland and Germany and in the immediate vicinity of the Euroairport Basel Mulhouse. Lindner thereby expanded its activities in the French-speaking markets.
PRODUCTION
Quality and innovation from Tyrol
A new Lindner tractor rolls off the production line in just two days: the chassis is assembled on the first day. Painting is done in the evening - the paint is dry by morning. On the second day, all lines, cables and hoses are laid, various additional equipment is attached and the cabin is put on. As soon as the tires are mounted, it goes on to the end of the line where all settings are made and the vehicle is prepared for the final inspection. Over 250 Lindner employees produce around 1,200 tractors and vans a year with up to 200 hours of manual labor per vehicle.
