On 12 May, in an official opening ceremony, the Liebherr Group opened its new works in Rostock for maritime cargo handling equipment. The Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH production plant, erected on a site measuring 226,000 m² in the port of Rostock, includes two production halls and an administration block together occupying a total of some 56,000 m².
At this new site, Liebherr manufactures harbour mobile cranes as well as ship cranes with tare weights of up to 500 tonnes and also offshore cranes, special-purpose cranes and reachstackers. Thanks to its direct access to the sea, Rostock is very well placed in terms of the logistics of worldwide sales, especially as regards large equipment.
The total amount invested in the production plant comes to around € 60 million. Some 250 staff, both male and female, are already employed at the site, and the workforce including temporary personnel totals more than 300. It is planned that staff numbers will increase fairly rapidly to 400 - 500. |
