As Linton Inc. marks its remarkable 70th anniversary, we reflect on its journey from a bold vision by founder Mr. Lim Ka Thong in 1954 to a cornerstone of the Philippine steel industry. Over seven decades, it has become synonymous with innovation, reliability, and a commitment to shaping the nation’s infrastructure and communities.

Strength and resilience: the foundation of Linton’s success

Linton’s journey has been defined by the same qualities that make steel—strength, resilience, and a commitment to progress. These traits not only define the steel solutions Linton provides but also embody the people who have driven the company forward.

The visionary leadership of Mr. Lim Ka Thong
