Linden Comansa: cutting-edge construction cranes

At major worksites, Linden Comansa cranes stretch into the skyline as they support tons of material, recognizable by their distinct modular structure, with no rigid supporting braces.

 

Company objectives include achieving greater safety and reducing costs, and company engineers focus on research that continually improves the products. This attention to quality has made Linden Comansa one of the top in the sector, both in Spain and abroad.

 

In 2005, Linden Comansa opened the most technologically advanced crane production factory in the world in Huarte, Navarra. Robots facilitate crane welding and painting, while implementing numerical control machines has also substantially reduced working time and costs. The company remains committed to research to improve its production processes.

 

The center includes a 20,000 square meter warehouse and a nearby office building. According to company representatives, the center is vital in providing a base for improvements to manufacturing and to the technology. In the new facilities, the company is able to produce 1,500 medium-sized cranes annually. Linden Comansa has also opened a sales office in the U.S.

 

Linden Comansa was established in the 1960s in Navarra, in northern Spain. Today the company exports cranes to every continent: it has sold more than 16,000 cranes in more than 40 countries.

 

The development of Comansa originally went hand-in-hand with the Spanish real estate boom. The company first began operating under the name Imausa, manufacturing molds for the automotive industry. With the major industrial expansion in Spain, Imausa began to manufacture increasingly more sophisticated tools for industrial buildings. But the birth of the Spanish tourism industry and the housing boom of the 1970s helped propel the company into construction.

 

As the company moved into its transformation, in 1983 it bought the production rights for Swedish company Linden, changing the company name to Linden Comansa. The Swedish team had designed an innovative crane model known as the Flat Top, which revolutionized the market. Instead of attachment cables and a structure known as counter-jib found on conventional cranes, this system was based on modular pieces. Comansa obtained the rights and technology to manufacture this system.
