The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company began 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 types of tools for both in-house and external use. The corporation also specialized in making 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 soon become among the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited 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.
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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the development and production of more incredible and even bigger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These global clients have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
