The company Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. Furthermore, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to soon become amongst the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The corporation became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that particular time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
