In the interview accompanying the 2025 annual report, Jan Liebherr, president of the administrative board of Liebherr-International AG, and administrative board members Patricia Rüf and Sophie Albrecht reflect on a challenging year and outline the Group’s key developments.
The past year was shaped by demanding global conditions, subdued market momentum and increasing competitive pressure. In the interview, Jan Liebherr, Patricia Rüf and Sophie Albrecht explain how the Group deliberately stayed its course in this environment and strengthened its resilience through targeted investments and strategic decisions.
The family shareholders outline how Liebherr combines stability with long-term thinking and which priorities have been set to safeguard the Group’s future viability last year. A visible expression of this approach was Bauma 2025: with 34 world and European premieres, the exhibition appearance became a compelling demonstration of the Group’s innovative strength.
Read the full interview to gain deeper insights into the development of the individual product segments, regional market dynamics and progress in digitalisation and sustainability. The family shareholders also provide an outlook for the 2026 fiscal year.

Liebherr overcomes access restrictions to lift a Derrick crane onto a Paris high-rise roof
A Liebherr Derrick crane has been transported piece by piece onto the roof of the Opus 12 tower in Paris La Défense, using a goods lift and a helicopter. Because the heaviest and largest components could not reach the site and the roof could not bear the load of a standard crane, Liebherr Tower Crane Solutions, Liebherr France (LDF) and the client Legendre developed this rooftop lifting solution together.

For the filming of a new ARD/WDR series in Germany’s Ruhr region, the production team at Sally Forth Cinema used Liebherr’s Liduro Power Port (LPO 100) mobile energy storage system for the first time. Over a period of 33 filming days, the battery storage system ensured a reliable power supply for the entire base camp. The quiet and locally emission-free energy supply supported the implementation of modern green production concepts and contributed to smooth filming operations.
