“In becoming our annual partner, Link Engineering Company is highlighting the deep value in AASA councils, specifically the BMC,” commented Ben Brucato, vice president of engagement, AASA. “These small peer-to-peer networking groups are where the rubber meets the road with education and networking and LINK will elevate that impact with the BMC.” 

AASA notes LINK has been at the forefront of developing industry-standard equipment, custom solutions, and innovative testing services for the automotive, aerospace, and HVAC fields worldwide for more than 80 years. LINK is always pushing the envelope into emerging technologies and considers it their responsibility to spearhead industry initiatives for the benefit of all.
