What Linex does

Linex OÜ is a privately held, Tallinn-based exhibition stand design and construction firm operating since 1992 under the legal entity Linex OÜ (Estonian private limited company, registration 10375474). Its core offering is the design and fabrication of custom trade fair stands for companies participating in exhibitions across Estonia, Finland, Germany, and Latvia, supplemented by presentation accessories, shop furnishings, and special furniture. The firm's technical work is physical and craft-based — building modular stands from materials such as plywood boards on metal frames — rather than digital or platform-based.

The company serves a horizontally diversified set of trade fair exhibitors across industries including construction materials, automotive, energy, FMCG, healthcare, research, and government. Named reference customers include Yamaha, Peugeot, Velux, Wolf Group, Eesti Energia, Tavex, HK Scan, VTT, and Ipsen, with several clients (e.g., Tavex across 2012–2015, Raitwood across multiple Estbuilds) returning for repeat annual engagements. The company also serves public-sector and institutional clients such as RMK (Estonian State Forest Management Centre) and the Estonian Museum of Natural History.

Linex operates a direct, relationship-based go-to-market with no channel intermediaries, supported by a multilingual website (Estonian, English, Finnish, Russian) that functions primarily as a portfolio and lead-generation asset. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue mechanics are professional-services project billing tied to discrete trade fair engagements. The firm reports 1–10 employees and a single Tallinn headquarters, with no disclosed funding, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the input data.
