Nearly seven years after the asphalt mixing plant manufacturer Linnhoff India ran its operations successfully, the corporation changed its corporate name to Ardent Maschinfabrik Pvt Ltd with effect from December 26, 2019. Formerly, Linnhoff India was owned 49 per cent by STG Infrastructure and 51 per cent by IPS Lintec Asia Pacific, Singapore. Post name change, it will now be 100 per cent owned by STG Infra Pvt Ltd under Ardent Holdings Pvt Ltd. The name of the company was changed from Linnhoff India Pvt Ltd to Ardent Maschinfabrik Pvt Ltd.

The company continues to hold the licence for manufacture and distribution of Linnhoff brand asphalt plants in India and will continue its marketing tie-up with GMMCO for sales, service and aftermarket support through GMMCO?s nationwide sales organisation like before.

The company spokesperson and Managing Director Ashok Tanna announced that the new name would reflect the evolving focus and standards of the company, adding, ?The company has used the name Linnhoff India for close to seven years and achieved product recognition in the country. The company has a thriving and profitable run of business satisfying our customers and vendors alike. With the acquisition of 100 per cent of the equity and change of name to Ardent Maschinfabrik Pvt Ltd (formerly Linnhoff India Pvt Ltd), our patrons will find no change in the quality of products or services offered or procuring information on products or services, or conducting business with our new business identity.? The name change allows for the company to foray into newer ventures and tap the export potential of the company to its fullest.
