On April 1, 2021, two of the Linka Group companies moved together. Weiss pulled up stakes in Hadsund and moved in with Linka Energy, which is based in Lem in West Jutland.

For almost a year and a half, Weiss has been part of the Linka Group, which consists of two more companies; Linka Energy and Swedish Jernforsen. By moving Weiss to Lem, the cooperation and synergy will be greater, as the distance between employees will be shorter. “We are confident that the move will be an advantage for the employees of both companies – but also a great advantage for our customers, because we can more easily share our knowledge and experience with each other” says CEO of Weiss, Kenneth Iversen.

There is plenty of space at the site in Lem, so finding desk space for the new colleagues will not be a problem. “We look forward to utilizing the synergy and creating an even closer collaboration” says Thomas Gaardbo, CEO of Linka Energy.

The whole world as a workplace

Weiss is mainly a service company where many of the employees work at the customers’ sites and therefore spend many hours on the road. This means that only the office staff have physically moved to Lem. Many of these employees have been able to work longer hours, but have also been given the opportunity to work more days at home.

The service employees service plants all over Denmark – in fact, all over the world. Therefore, the physical location is of little importance to them, as they often drive directly from home to the sites or stay overnight in the vicinity of the sites.

Two spare parts warehouses merge into one

In Hadsund, Weiss had its own spare parts warehouse, which has now also moved to Lem. This means that the stock of components and other parts has grown and therefore it has been necessary to restructure the workforce and also the warehouses. Customers benefit from the fact that spare parts are now grouped together, as this shortens delivery times.

Both companies will still continue as independent companies with Kenneth Iversen as CEO of Weiss and Thomas Gaardbo as CEO of Linka Energy.
