The corporation Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external applications. The corporation even specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become among the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst various other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that specific time. The first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even bigger machinery.
There are several specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the globe. These global customers have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
