Design and manufacturing from a single source
Since 1969, A. Linnepe GmbH has developed and manufactured retrofit parts for motorhomes, panel vans and commercial vehicles. The portfolio includes supplementary air suspension and overload springs, steel springs, hydraulic jack supports, load carriers and bicycle carriers, trailer couplings, gas detectors as well as quick-clamping stands for industry and trade. Design and the majority of manufacturing take place at the Ennepetal site, allowing special solutions and product changes to be fed directly into production. Sales are handled through a Europe-wide service partner network; installation at a fixed price is offered at two of the company's own service centers in Ennepetal and Burgheim, including on-site TÜV inspection and overload certification. Cooperations with motorhome manufacturers such as Hymer and with ContiTech (air bellows) have existed for decades. The products are advertised as TÜV-certified and are positioned on the "Made in Germany" principle.
