Biberach (Germany), 07th of June 2021 – On 1 September 2021 Liebherr will hand over its rental business of tower cranes in the French region Ile-de-France and the North to Hexagone Services S.A.S.

According to Marco Guariglia, Sales Manager at Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH, "France has always been very important to Liebherr. With this step we will further strengthen our partners in the rental business and expand our market position."
