The corporation Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mostly 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 jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. Furthermore, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become amongst the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods during that particular time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to design and engineer cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are several particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the world. These global customers have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
