Last Reviewed: September 28, 2026

Executive Summary

Magnus Conradsen is Chief Executive Officer of LINAK A/S, the family-owned Danish company in Nordborg that makes electric linear actuators for adjustable desks, hospital beds and agricultural machinery. He took over on 1 August 2026 from founder Bent Jensen, who had led the company for 50 years and remains its owner and board chairman. Conradsen came to the job from inside: he had spent about 19 years with LINAK in Denmark, China and the United States, most recently as President of LINAK U.S. in Louisville, Kentucky, which the company describes as its largest market.

Career Highlights

• Chief Executive Officer of LINAK A/S since 1 August 2026, succeeding founder Bent Jensen.
• President of LINAK U.S. Inc. in Louisville, Kentucky, until mid-2026, when Michael Jensen was appointed to succeed him.
• Led LINAK U.S. through its 30th anniversary in 2024, when the subsidiary reported more than 300 employees on a 39-acre campus and nearly one-third of the group’s global sales.
• In September 2026 set out a growth strategy aiming to lift LINAK’s annual revenue from about DKK 4 billion to DKK 5 billion within four years.

Professional Journey

Conradsen built his career inside LINAK. The company says he has worked for it for 19 years, in Denmark, China and the United States, and it presented him as “a familiar face” when it named him Bent Jensen’s successor.

His most visible role before the top job was President of LINAK U.S. Inc. The subsidiary was founded in Louisville in 1994 as LINAK’s first production facility outside Denmark. By its 30th anniversary in June 2024 it occupied three buildings of more than 360,000 square feet on a 39-acre campus, employed well over 300 people and generated nearly one-third of the group’s global sales. Conradsen said then that the company’s advantage lay in combining local production with global expertise.

In March 2026 LINAK announced that Bent Jensen, who founded the company after developing an electric actuator to help a friend in a wheelchair, would hand over as chief executive on 1 August 2026 after 50 years, and that Conradsen would succeed him. In July the company appointed Michael Jensen, previously director of its Deskline business unit, to succeed Conradsen in Louisville. Conradsen said Michael Jensen was “the right person to lead our US organisation into its next phase of growth and development”.

Conradsen became CEO on 1 August 2026, and LINAK’s group management page now lists him at its head, with Bent Jensen as owner and chairman. In September he presented a new strategy to the company’s global leadership with growth at its centre: about DKK 250 million of additional revenue a year, reaching DKK 5 billion within four years, through organic expansion and new partnerships, with particular attention to markets such as India and the Balkans. LINAK employs about 2,500 people worldwide.
