COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE LINKE GROUP

OUR HISTORY

FOUR GENERATIONS, ONE GENE

Over time, we have managed to combine energy and cultivation, production and culture. The group as a system of a region.

A family legacy passed down through generations. From the town’s first power plant to its carbon footprint measured by satellite. The story of the Linke Group is the story of the NEA region.

Beginnings

20th Century - First Generation

SAMUEL LINKE ARRIVES IN ARGENTINA

Fleeing the war in Europe, Samuel and his wife emigrate from Germany and settle in the Chaco region. They find no role models to emulate. What doesn’t exist, they build. They bring with them an austere, communal work ethic, focused on building where there was nothing.

1945

FIRST GENERATION

THE FIRST POWER PLANT AND THE FIRST CINEMA

In 1945, Samuel installed the town’s first electric power plant, a cart factory, and the first post office, all in his own home. In the 1950s, he created the town’s first movie theater: energy by day, culture by night. The creed was already working. Where it was needed and didn’t exist, the Group created.

Guillermo

SECOND GENERATION

THE LAND AS AN ENGINE OF GROWTH

Guillermo takes up and expands the family legacy. His first agricultural fields are in Chaco, and he gains experience as a transporter on challenging rural roads. The group grows into Santiago del Estero and Formosa, generating direct employment for hundreds of families. For the first time, the land becomes the central productive asset.

2001

THIRD GENERATION - MARCELO AND HECTOR

CHANNEL 9 RETURNS TO THE NEA

In Argentina’s worst year, Guillermo, Marcelo, and Héctor Linke didn’t back down: they became pioneers in cable television and brought back Channel 9 for Chaco. What others saw as a risk, the group saw as consistent with its history. Channel 9 became the leading audiovisual broadcaster in Northeast Argentina.

Today

FOURTH GENERATION

THE GENE IS UPDATED WITHOUT LOSING ITS ROOT

Gonzalo Linke adds new priorities: measurable environmental sustainability, technological innovation, and product diversification. Certified carbon footprint, Pro Carbon program, Bayer license. The group consolidates its position as an integrated holding company in agriculture, media, and telecommunications with a presence in six provinces.
