It was started in a very similar way to its companions in the mobilecrane field, producing either railway rolling stock or as agricultural implement manufacturing. It was then acquired by the largest local company LUNA cranetruck company of Huesca, who adopted some of the largest mobilecrane models that IBESA were producing in the 1980s. The firm opened another factory in Barcelona for producing 4 wheeled mobilecranes and yardcranes during the 1970s.
