The company Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. Moreover, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become one of the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among various other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that specific time. The very 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 design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several specific advantages that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These global customers have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
