Liebherr expand UK HQ after record turnover
LIEBHERR Great Britain Ltd have announced the acquisition of a new 15-acre site adjoining the company’s existing 9-acre headquarters in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.
Whilst the development plans for the expanded facility are still being fi nalised, the proposals are expected to include a new pre-delivery inspection centre, amongst other functions, to support the UK business.
Commenting on the acquisition, Managing Director of Liebherr Great Britain, Lee Palmer, said: “This expansion will ensure we continue to have adequate resources and capacity to support our customers and the continued growth of Liebherr in the UK.
“Vitally, it will also enable us to create even more skilled employment opportunities for the local community and across the country.”

In 2017, the Liebherr Group achieved the highest turnover in the Group’s history, with total sales of €9,845 million. Compared to the previous year, the family-run company
increased revenue by 9.3%.
2017 saw a further increase in the workforce, and a total of 1,561 new jobs were created. The Liebherr Group had 43,869 employees worldwide at the end of last year.
