Liebherr Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liebherr Group is a German manufacturer established in 1949 by Hans Liebherr that is headquartered in Biberach an der Riss, Baden-Württemberg. The Liebherr Group’s holding company is Liebherr-International AG in Bulle, Switzerland, which is entirely owned by members of the Liebherr family. Current-generation family ownership is held by Willi and Isolde Liebherr, listed among the billionaires of 2005.
Beginning with the production of affordable tower cranes, Liebherr has expanded to aircraft parts and household appliances. The company is a major supplier of Airbus S.A.S..
Liebherr is also among the producers of the largest mining and digging tools in the world, such as loaders, excavators and extreme-size dump trucks. Over the years the family business has grown into what is today a group of companies, employing a workforce of approx. 25,000 in more than 100 companies on all continents.
Apparently in December 2004, one German site put Liebherr's dumpers in 1st and 6th place as the worlds biggest, while their largest excavator got 5th position (See external links)
Liebherr currently produces the world's largest mining truck, the T 282 B.
Liebherr have factories in many countries: Germany, Britain and Ireland, to name but a few. The factory in Ireland manufactures container cranes and is located in Killarney. These cranes are exported through the local port of Fenit to ports all over the world.
