For the next 100-plus years, Linde AG was involved in a wide variety of engineering endeavors, from manufacturing refrigeration and air conditioning systems to the production of rare gases and the construction of an array of industrial plants.
In 2004, Linde exited the refrigeration business, in which it had been Europe's market leader.Ĭarl von Linde invented his refrigeration machine in 1875, and formed his own company four years later. The company produces industrial and medical gases, develops plants for gas production, and is one of the biggest manufacturers of industrial trucks in the world. Linde AG, an international technology company, operates in two business segments: Gas and Engineering and Materials Handling. His achievements laid the foundation not only for Linde AG, but an entirely new industry.ġ875: Carl von Linde invents an ammonia compression machine used to manufacture ice.ġ879: Gesellschaft für Linde's Eismaschinen is founded.ġ903: Company builds first production plant for purified oxygen.ġ912: Company constructs device to simultaneously produce oxygen and nitrogen.ġ914: Manufacturing is altered due to World War I.ġ920: Acquisition of competitors elevates refrigeration business.ġ945: Company sustains heavy damage during World War II.ġ959: Company builds first system to separate radioactive elements from nuclear gases.ġ969: Linde stops tractor production to concentrate on forklifts.Ģ000: Company buys AGA AB, becoming Europe's second largest industrial gas group.Ģ004: Company exits refrigeration business.
