AAA rating – a mark of financial stability and responsibility.

At Linka Energy, we work every day to deliver sustainable energy solutions – but our focus goes beyond technology and projects. It’s also about responsibility, trust, and financial stability.

That’s why we’re proud to announce that we have been awarded the AAA diploma by Dun & Bradstreet – the highest possible credit rating a company can achieve.

What does a AAA rating mean?

A AAA rating signifies outstanding financial health. It shows that Linka Energy has an exceptionally strong ability to meet its financial obligations, with a very low risk of default. In practical terms, it means we are among the most financially stable and reliable companies in Denmark.

Why is this important?

This rating carries significant meaning for our customers, suppliers, and partners:

• For our customers, it’s a clear sign that they are working with a company that is well-managed and delivers on its promises.
• For our suppliers, it confirms that we are a responsible business partner who pays on time.
• And for financial stakeholders, it demonstrates that we are a trustworthy actor – opening the door to attractive financing opportunities.

How is a AAA rating achieved?

Dun & Bradstreet evaluates companies based on a combination of factors, including:

• Financial key figures
• Payment history
• Company structure and ownership
• And a wide range of other parameters that together provide a comprehensive picture of a company’s financial health.

Only a small percentage of Danish companies meet the strict criteria required to obtain the AAA diploma – which makes us all the prouder to be among them.

A collective achievement.

This recognition is more than just a certificate on the wall – it is a testament to the dedication and responsibility shown by everyone at Linka Energy, every single day.

We would like to thank all our employees, customers, and partners who have contributed to making this achievement possible.

When BIO360 Expo 2026 takes place in Nantes, Linka Group will participate with a strong focus on biomass and waste-based energy solutions that support the green transition through efficient use of local resources.

At the exhibition, we will present our boiler systems delivering heat – and, in relevant projects, also power – based on a wide range of biomass and waste-derived fuels.

From straw, forestry and garden residues to recovered wood and RDF, we demonstrate how flexible technology enables stable and sustainable energy production.

Fuel flexibility taken to a new level.

Linka Group’s boiler systems are engineered for maximum fuel flexibility and can handle fuels with moisture contents of up to 60%.

This provides district heating utilities and industrial customers with the freedom to utilise locally available fuels – even when fuel quality and composition vary.

With more than 4,000 reference plants in operation worldwide, ranging from approximately 200 kW to 35 MW, our solutions are based on documented operational experience and proven technology.

The result is high efficiency, stable operation, and effective energy utilisation – sustainability in practice.

Local resources – global experience.

BIO360 is an international platform for bioenergy, and here Linka Group demonstrates how Scandinavian quality and decades of experience are translated into robust energy solutions across countries and markets.

Today, our systems are used in both the utility and industrial sectors, where requirements for operational reliability, emissions, and plant lifetime are high.

As the year draws to a close, we look back on a 2025 characterised by progress, strengthened partnerships, and an important strategic shift. At Linka Group, we are proud that the year once again demonstrates how far we can go when expertise, collaboration and commitment go hand in hand.

In 2025, we delivered numerous new plants to both existing and new customers, and we entered markets where we had not previously been represented.

2025 was also the year in which Brian Pedersen transferred the majority shareholding in Linka Group to Christoffer Lassen and the investment company Kincap. This change of ownership marks the beginning of a new chapter in Linka Group’s history and brings new resources, networks, and competencies to support the Group’s development and international expansion.

“It has been important for me to find the right majority owners so that the positive development can continue,” said Brian Pedersen.

”I see significant opportunities for Linka Group – within its current segments, geographically, and by applying its market-leading technology in new areas – and I have great respect for what the Group’s companies have already achieved”, said Christoffer Lassen.

As we look towards 2026, we do so with strong optimism, a solid order book, and many projects in the pipeline.

Our focus is clear: continued growth, innovation, and green development through reliable and efficient energy solutions.

We will strengthen our service business, expand internationally, and continue to deliver technological solutions that make a real difference for industry, agriculture, and district heating.

Thank you to all our customers, partners, and colleagues for your cooperation in 2025.
Your trust is the driving force behind our success.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous, green and forward-looking 2026.
