About Me

Bent Jensen is the owner and CEO of Linak, a $680 million (revenue) Danish company that manufactures and sells linear actuators. Linear actuators are devices that convert power into linear motion and are used in industrial equipment, furniture and hospital beds. Jensen's grandfather founded the company in 1907; it originally made pulleys, grinding mills and forges. Jensen, who received a mechanical engineering degree, joined the firm in 1976 -- with an idea for a new product: the linear actuator. Today the company has factories in Denmark, the U.S., China and Slovakia.
