The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig makers. The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house use. Moreover, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to soon become amongst the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among various other things. The corporation became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the particular building methods being used at that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of even bigger and more incredible machines.
There are several particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the world. These customers all over the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
