Liebherr expands Newport News headquarters

Liebherr International AG, the family-owned construction machinery and earthmoving equipment manufacturers with U.S. headquarters in Newport News, Virginia, has announced its $45 million investment to expand its Newport News facility.

The new expansion will include the construction of three new buildings on 28 acres adjacent to Liebherr’s current manufacturing facility. Once completed, the new facilities will total more than 251,000 square feet and will be occupied by Liebherr USA Co. The expansion will offer space for Liebherr USA’s new headquarters and administrative building, a production and workshop facility and a warehouse and distribution building. Construction is expected to begin in July 2018 and be completed by summer of 2020.

“Since 1970, our continued success and commitment to customers in the United States has always been at the forefront of everything we have done and continue to do,” Torben Reher, managing director of Liebherr USA, says. “This expansion underlines our commitment and further strengthens our position in North America to deliver sustainable long-term growth and to offer exceptional and consistent experience to customers across the United States. “

The Liebherr Group has continually grown its operations in Newport News and throughout the U.S. since it opened in 1970. It operates 13 locations for manufacturing, sales and service across all its divisions.
