The company Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly the larger 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 machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house use. Additionally, the corporation specialized in making 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 rapidly become among the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods during that particular 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 design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible machinery.
There are several specific advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the globe. These global customers have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
