Opportunities ahead at Conexpo

“Offering 12 product segments throughout North America, a one size fits all approach to product defossilization is complex. Through this realization, Liebherr has embraced a technology neutral approach to address a wide spectrum of applications and machinery,” explains Kai Friedrich. Currently, Liebherr offers multiple alternative drive options including HVO, battery-electric machines, hydrogen engines, hybrid drive, and autonomous drive systems. “We notice that market trends are evolving towards more sustainable solutions. Liebherr has been implementing initiatives to introduce and distribute a growing number of emission neutral products across its portfolio of products,” Friedrich notes. “With these offerings, Liebherr can provide an increased level in efficiency, economy, and safety for our customers in the USA while still meeting their individual requirements.”

A major step in Liebherr’s North American growth is the construction of a new logistics warehouse in Tupelo, MS - the first major distribution center outside of Europe. This facility will enhance Liebherr’s service capabilities across the Americas by providing faster and more efficient services to customers. “We are actively broadening our service and support network across the USA to support the continued growth of Liebherr. That includes the consideration of expanding assembly and manufacturing capabilities in the US – which we have already completed in Newport News, VA,” says Friedrich. The new logistics center will play a significant role in the management and distribution of spare parts and products from various Liebherr divisions, reinforcing the company’s position as an industry leader.
