Horst Linn started his endeavour by producing laboratory furnaces and induction casting machines (dental/jewelry). The company developed more and more into a furnace / kiln pro- ducer, hence the name changed to LINN HIGH THERM and the company moved from Hersbruck to Eschenfelden into a new facility. The new plant was focused onhigh-temperature furnaces, induc- tion heating, microwave technolo- gy, and sample preparation units for spectroscopy. Today, Linn High Therm special-izes in designing custom made furnace systems.Horst Linn jr., after technical /electronics college, has been working in the R & D Department for HF / RF-Generators + ICP sources and is already fully inte- grated into the company.

Furthermore, he will be involved in developing the LINN HIGH THERM business in Eastern Europe and Asia. In 2002 L.E.N.A Industrieofenbauwas aquired (successor to Linn Industrieofenbau).
