The corporation Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly 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 machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. The company even specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially 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 globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods at that specific time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the production and development of even bigger and more incredible machines.
There are several particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the globe. These clients all around the globe have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
