For solutions in the linear motion industry, vertically integration can be essential in elevating profits, controlling distribution and eliminating the hassle from third-party companies. Vertical integration can be defined as a company controlling all the stages of production (such as raw materials, transportation and marketing) and merging them into one unified supply chain.
