The company Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company began supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. Additionally, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become among the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among various other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited 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.
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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the production and development of even larger and more incredible machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific advantages that has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all over the globe. These global customers have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
