Liebherr-MCCtec Vertriebs- und Service GmbH is investing around €20 million in a new office in Hamburg port. On 19 June 2018 the official ground-breaking ceremony took place, marking the start of the construction measures.
Today the first sod for the new Liebherr sales and service centre was turned on an area of 44,000 m² in Kuhwerder Hafen (port). Liebherr is building a new facility for the existing sales and service company in Harburg on the centrally located area. The new office will be responsible for the support and maintenance of mobile harbour cranes, ship cranes, offshore cranes, as well as construction machines from the product areas of duty cycle crawler cranes, crawler cranes and deep foundation equipment. The new location also serves as a hub for rental and return equipment. Spare part repairs is another function.
"We are investing in a location that offers potential for growth over the long term. Owing to its logistic conditions, Hamburg port is our central hub for rental and return equipment as well as for all types of repairs from the European area", states Jörg Schmidt, Managing Director of Liebherr-MCCtec Vertriebs- und Service GmbH.
"Liebherr creates jobs over the long term here in the heart of the port and will also assist Hamburg businesses in the future with its know-how and expertise", adds Jens Meier, Chairman of the Board of Hamburg Port Authority.
A workshop (2160 m²), a warehouse (1080 m²), as well as offices (3750 m²), will be built on the new area. The construction measures will be completed by the second quarter of 2019.
Liebherr-MCCtec Vertriebs- und Service GmbH is responsible for maritime cranes and construction machinery. The product range includes solutions for all types of cargo handling in the port, ship and offshore area, e.g. mobile harbour cranes, container cranes, ship and offshore cranes or reachstackers. In the international construction machinery market the division is represented with a wide range of universal duty cycle crawler cranes, crawler cranes and piling and drilling rigs.
