The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool makers. The company began supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both in-house and external use. Additionally, 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 business exploded to immediately become among the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among various other things. The corporation became very busy, very fast.
Production
The 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.
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 engineer and design cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the production and development of more spectacular and even bigger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific advantages which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all over the world. These clients all over the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
