Lisa Bozzi has been with Liebherr in Saline, Michigan, since 2017. She is an office manager and event coordinator for the Liebherr Gear Technology and Automation Systems division, but also supports the HR team in acquiring new talent for Gear Technology and Automation Systems and Aerospace.
Half a century of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH means 50 years of commitment to the machinery and plant engineering industry. Gear technology originated in the technology of the revolving tower crane. Hans Liebherr wanted to buy a gear hobbing machine for gear manufacturing, but could not find what he wanted – so he simply built it himself. It’s a typical Liebherr story, since many sectors in the company group have emerged in this or in a similar way. Taking things into one’s own hands: an attitude that can still be found at Liebherr today.
Bauer Gear Motor operates two new LC 180 gear hobbing machines at its facility in Slovakia, producing gearing for all facilities. These machines are characterised by their operational versatility, given that they are used to produce around 180 different components in a very wide range of different sizes.
“The fire pump is the heart of every fire truck”, explains Michael Schöftner, Head of Mechanical Production at Rosenbauer International AG, the global leader for fire service equipment. The equipment has to withstand enormous loads in cases of operation. Rosenbauer relies on an automation solution for pump manufacturing from Liebherr. The rotary loading system RLS 800 from the Kempten-based automation experts has been deployed in Leonding near Linz for around two years now.
E-cars are very demanding in terms of gear quality. Great Taiwan Gear relies on Liebherr machines.

Johannes Weixler has developed a new universal chamfering application – with the dynamic mathematical assistance of colleagues.
After an upgrade, the universal LC 280 DC gear hobbing machine shines with improved operating comfort and technical refinements.
For the mobility of the future, we need solutions today. Sometimes this means starting from scratch. With a new production line, new processes and new machines.
What challenges does Industry 4.0 present to companies and their apprentices? Liebherr is already working on the measures necessary for overcoming the technical obstacles of the future in order to train its own professionals.
Wenzel GearTec GmbH, a successful manufacturer of gear inspection machines, has been part of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH since May 2019. The Karlsruhe-based company has specialised in the measurement of gears, gear cutting tools and other rotationally symmetrical workpieces since 2004 and has an innovative product range that perfectly complements Liebherr's own.
It starts with a blank. But how does the workpiece get onto the line or into the machine? Depending on the state it is delivered in, this task can quickly become very complex. Reliable 3D object detection systems optically capture and evaluate data. Liebherr works with a variety of 3D vision systems to match the requirements and smoothly handles the supply of every randomly stored part with process precision.
