The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house applications. Furthermore, the corporation 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 business exploded to rapidly 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 different other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that specific time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of even larger and more incredible machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some particular advantages which has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
