. Linde was a member of scientific and engineering associations, including being on the board of trustees of the
Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt
and the
Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities
. Linde was also the founder of what is now known as
The Linde Group
, the world's largest industrial gases company, and ushered the creation of the
supply chain
of
industrial gases
as a profitable line of businesses. He was
knighted
in 1897 as
Ritter von Linde
.
