Liebherr has hosted the groundbreaking for the extension of its aerospace manufacturing plant in Guaratinguetá, in the State of São Paulo (Brazil). The facility represents a major milestone in the company’s plan to enlarge its footprint in the region.
On February 17, Liebherr celebrated a milestone with the groundbreaking of the expansion of Liebherr Aerospace Brasil LTDA in Guaratinguetá, near São Paulo (Brazil). Invited guests, members of the Management as well as Liebherr employees attended the ceremony, which marked the official start of the construction work.
Over the next 10 years, around €45 million will be invested, and in already about two years’ time, high-precision aircraft components made of aluminum and steel will be machined and surface treated on the additional space of 8,000 m². The new building will help Liebherr to cope with the steep production ramp-up that is currently experienced by the aerospace industry.
Since 2005, Liebherr Aerospace Brasil LTDA produces critical high-tech components for flight control and actuation systems, environmental control and thermal management systems, landing gear systems, as well as for aircraft engines. The company is certified according to the latest standards, e.g. Nadcap, and can rely on an advanced industrial set-up.
