The Liebherr corporation was born out of tragic circumstances. Following the destruction of Germany during the Second World War, the Liebherr company rose from the ashes to help reconstruct many of the country’s demolished cities. Their invention of the mobile tower crane revolutionised the construction industry and was an essential part of Germany’s regrowth.
In just half a century, the company expanded rapidly. Their products can be found throughout many industries that require machinery and most notably include their construction and aeronautic products. Riding the success of its products, Liebherr expanded its operations across Europe in the 1960s. A decade later, Liebherr had critical operations across the globe. Their digging equipment is recognised as leaders of their industry in performance and design.
Today, Liebherr is a global presence in machinery engineering. Many of their technologies are at the forefront of their industries, thanks to the company’s cutting-edge technology. As Liebherr looks to the future, they call back to their origins. The company manufactures the world’s largest crane, which is affixed to a ship and used in the construction of ocean wind farms.
