Driven to Succeed

How Frank Hasenfratz Grew Linamar from Guelph to Global

Rod McQueen, Susan M. Papp

"Driven to Succeed" tells the inspiring story of Frank Hasenfratz, who fled his war-torn home country and gambled everything on a one-man operation making oil pumps for Ford in Ontario. Today, his company Linamar has 15,000 employees in eight countries and is the second-largest maker of auto parts in Canada. Hasenfratz stayed ahead of competitors through visionary leadership, a cost-conscious regimen, and a skilled workforce. The book also explores Hasenfratz's dedication to preparing his daughter Linda to succeed him as CEO through a prolonged apprenticeship. Discover what one daring entrepreneur can achieve with dreams and determination.
