Linden Comansa was a company that began manufacturing tool and jig during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the bigger 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 sophisticated jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become among the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The corporation became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that specific 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible machines.
There are some specific advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all around the world. These clients all around the globe have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured in 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.
