Pioneering progress since its founding in 1970, Liebherr’s presence in the United States has continued to grow through intentional business strategies. Liebherr USA takes pride in the success that has been created and has made multiple significant investments that reflect its strong impact and lasting commitment to the North American market.

Over the course of the 55 years that Liebherr has operated in the United States, its footprint has grown to cover the nation with five companies, 15 company-owned locations and a large-scale distribution network throughout the nation. A longstanding commitment to consistency in quality, state-of-the-art technology, and dedicated service has defined Liebherr for decades. Now with over 1,700 employees across five companies in the U.S., Liebherr has the capacity to work closely with businesses providing tailor-made solutions across its 10 US product segments.

Becoming a trusted partner to customers within the US market takes more than providing new machines to expand their fleets. With strategically placed locations and manufacturing facilities, Liebherr USA provides robust support to businesses across the United States, including readily accessible customer service, efficient spare parts distribution, and proactive on-site technical support.

In addition to Liebherr’s five main campuses, satellite locations catering to specific product divisions are also spread throughout the nation to better serve businesses and industries based in the region.

Since the mid-1990’s Liebherr has used its Newport News mining plant to manufacture a range of diesel-electric mining trucks with payloads of up to 400 USt (362,87 t). After undergoing extensive quality control where they are partially assembled, tested, and certified, the trucks are then shipped to mining sites across the globe.

At the center of the work being done at the factory is the dedicated research and development team working around the clock to create state-of-the-art mining systems for the world’s largest quarries and mines. As a result of Liebherr’s 30 years of mining truck knowledge and expertise, technologies like advanced trolley systems are making an impact on sites to help lower emissions and create more efficient mining operations.

Serving as one of the largest markets for the Liebherr Group, properly investing in the U.S. is pivotal. The recent expansions made to Liebherr’s footprint over the years serves as a testament to its ability to maintain a consistent and strategic business model. As Liebherr’s capacity for business grows, so does its ability to provide the highest quality service to customers across the United States. Unveiled in 2020, Liebherr USA, Co. completed its new headquarters in Newport News, VA, located right alongside its preexisting mining truck factory. This new campus greatly expanded services in the United States, housing a central service workshop for three divisions as well as Liebherr USA’s largest state-of-the-art warehouse.

In 2024, Liebherr Mining Equipment invested $72.3 million in a plant expansion dedicated to produce Liebherr’s range of diesel electric mining trucks. These large machines are partly assembled, tested, and certified at the Newport News plant. Complete assembly is then carried out at mines all over the world.

‘‘We thank Liebherr, an international leader in mining equipment manufacturing, for its commitment to the Commonwealth of Virginia,’’ said Governor Glenn Youngkin. ‘‘Liebherr has recognized that Virginia is strategically located to serve as its global production headquarters for mining trucks and service customers within the United States and across the world. We celebrate the community partnership between Liebherr, the City of Newport News, and the City of Hampton that made this expansion possible.’’

This expansion is more than just a construction project; it is a cornerstone of Liebherr Mining Equipment's strategic vision, laying a stronger foundation for the many ambitious projects anticipated in the future.
