Linamar Corp. reports its revenue in April-June climbed 21% to a record US$1.7 billion. Net earnings zoomed 31% to $157 million.
The Guelph, Ontario-based supplier of highly engineered metal components says its operating earnings for the quarter grew 29% to a record $214 million.
Results were led by the company’s powertrain/driveline business, where sales for the period rose 26% to $1.1 billion, and operating income jumped 45% to $50 million. Gains reflect a strong automotive market and the acquisition early this year of Montupet SA, a French supplier of aluminum cylinder heads to several carmakers.
CEO Linda Hasenfratz predicts record double-digit growth in sales and earnings for Linamar this year, thanks to stable markets and record new-business wins.

When Ford announced its 3rd quarter earning on October 24, the official announcement said, in part, “Company revenue was up 3 percent year over year, with net income and company adjusted EBIT both down year over year, primarily driven by continued challenges in China.” The previous day, perhaps as a preemptive move to answer the question “If things are going poorly in China, what are you doing about it?, Ford announced that it was establishing Ford China as a stand-alone business unit.
