The corporation Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company began supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. What's more, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become among the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods at that particular 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 which allow the development and production of more spectacular and even bigger machinery.
There are some particular advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all over the globe. These global customers have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
