The corporation Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become among the biggest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among 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 suited 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 permit the production and development of even bigger and more incredible machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some specific advantages which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These clients all over the globe have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These different other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
