The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig makers. The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. Moreover, 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 amongst 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 corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods at that particular time. The first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of even bigger and more incredible machines.
There are several particular advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all around the globe. These global customers have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
