Liebherr Ehingen expansion starts

Construction work, mostly ground preparation at this stage, has started on the 133 acre expansion of Liebherr's facilities in Ehingen, Germany.

The land purchase was announced in July and was followed by the ground breaking ceremony last Wednesday - September 10th-

The facility located on the Ehingen-Berg industrial estate, will include a new customer centre with an integrated dispatch wing, along with buildings for individual production processes currently carried out at the main plant. Additional phases will replace operations currently carried out in rented logistics spaces. It will supplement the existing 247 acre Ehingen site on Münsinger Straße, which was opened in 1969.

The site sits adjacent to Liebherr's service centre in Ehingen-Berg, which opened in 2021. Some of its 5,000 employees will initially transfer from the main plant to the new location.

Commercial director Daniel Pitzer said: "Especially for our employees, the expansion in the immediate vicinity of the main plant in Ehingen is a sign of appreciation, also in view of the successful past years. At the same time, we are investing today in order to be prepared for the challenges ahead."

Ulrich Heusel, production managing director added: "In line with our announcements, we are making sure that operations at the new site are as environmentally friendly as possible, which means, among other things, that fossil fuels will not be used."

In 2024, just over 2,000 cranes, mostly All Terrains and larger crawlers, shipped from the Ehingen plant, generating revenues of around €3.2 billion.
