Linde Creighton Limited is recorded at Companies House as a dormant company, meaning it is not currently trading. Its registered office on Kingsclere Road, Basingstoke, is the same address used by Linde Material Handling UK, a manufacturer of forklift trucks and warehouse logistics equipment. This suggests the entity is a dormant company within the wider Linde Material Handling corporate group rather than an active trading business in its own right. No evidence indicates that Linde Creighton Limited itself carries out any commercial activity, manufacturing, sales or service operations.
