Linden Comansa was a corporation which started manufacturing jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly 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 other tools for both in-house and external applications. Moreover, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly 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 globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among different other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods during that particular time. The 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific advantages that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all over the world. These customers all over the globe have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These various other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
