LINET

LINET is a Czech manufacturer of advanced care beds founded in 1990 by Zbyněk Frolík, who started from the purchase of an abandoned farmhouse in Slaný and turned it into one of the country’s industrial success stories. Three decades later the company describes itself as the world’s leading producer of advanced care beds, with more than 1.2 million beds installed in hospitals, care homes and private houses.

Its products are developed with nurses and caregivers rather than for them, following a brief that prioritises safe mobilisation, intuitive controls and easy cleaning, and the company owns the whole process from development to manufacturing and service. The portfolio covers intensive care, standard wards, long-term care and home care, with beds that integrate digital monitoring and reduce the physical strain of daily care work.
