Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) ("Linamar" or the "Company") announced today that
the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted Linamar's notice of intention to
renew its normal course issuer bid (the "Notice") in respect of common shares of
the Company. The Notice will enable Linamar to acquire up to 5,084,699 of its
outstanding common shares pursuant to the normal course issuer bid, representing
10% of the public float as at January 24, 2008. The price that Linamar will pay
for any such shares will be the market price of the common shares on the TSX at
the time of acquisition. Common shares purchased under the bid will be
cancelled. Daily purchases will be limited to 51,020 common shares, other than
block purchase exceptions.


Linamar's current normal course issuer bid for its common shares will expire on
January 30, 2008. As of January 28, 2008, Linamar had purchased, at an average
price of $14.85 per share, 14,000 of the 5,083,839 common shares approved for
purchase under such bid.


Purchases under the renewed bid may commence on January 31, 2008 and will end on
January 30, 2009 or on such earlier date as Linamar may complete its purchases
pursuant to the Notice or provides notice of termination of the bid.


All purchases will be made through the facilities and in accordance with the
requirements of the TSX. Linamar believes that the purchase of its common shares
from time to time under the normal course issuer bid is in the best interests of
the Company and represents a desirable use of the Company's funds.
