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.
