Link’s new 15,000-square-foot Suspension Controls Engineering Center will help focus a new segment of Link’s product engineering team specifically engaged in developing and expanding Link’s growing suspension control technologies. Expert staff at the new location will also be engaged in the integration of the company’s SmartValve and SAMS air management systems with Link’s Road Optimized Innovations technology.
The Michigan staff’s expertise in electrical engineering, software development, testing, and sales will help broaden Link’s overall capabilities and effectiveness. The Grand Rapids location also puts Link in close physical proximity to a rich industry talent pool, as the company continues to expand its focus into the whole-vehicle suspension control segment of the commercial vehicle market.
The new Suspension Controls Engineering Center will also enhance Link’s testing capabilities. Link’s Michigan location will focus on new product prototype testing and validation. New capabilities include temperature and humidity cycle testing, submersion testing, tension elongation and compression testing, pressure, leak, and lifecycle testing, and optical comparison testing. The company will also perform warranty testing for all valve and suspension control products at the facility.
