The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool makers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. The corporation also specialized in making 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 immediately become one of the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among various other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The 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 exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more spectacular and even bigger equipments.
