The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. The company even 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 one of the biggest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were made were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods at 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 that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even larger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some specific benefits which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all over the world. These customers all over the world have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery 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 specific modular system.
