history

In 1953, the company's founder, Hans Liebherr, was asked by the branch manager of his house bank whether he would be interested in a refrigerator factory that had gone bankrupt. He inspected the factory and found out about production prices and the prices of the most important supplies and compared them with the then commercial prices for refrigerators. However, he decided against acquiring the insolvent company and built his own plant in Ochsenhausen. In 1954 he developed the first Liebherr refrigerator, which went into series production a year later .

In the main factory in Ochsenhausen , 827,000 refrigeration devices in various sizes and equipment for private and commercial customers are produced and developed annually on an area of ​​310,000 m², 130,000 m² of which are covered hall space. Particular emphasis is placed on the energy efficiency of the devices. All plastics in the devices are recyclable. The export quota for devices in the medium and high price segment was 43 percent in 2014. The training quota among the 1,889 full-time employees was 3.3 percent. 63 trainees went to vocational school or completed dual studies.

In the 1980s, Liebherr had a cooperation with the Chinese Qingdao Refrigerator Co. , today's Haier, for the market launch in Asia . In 1987 Liebherr developed the convenient NoFrost technology for refrigerators.

In May 2016, construction began on a production facility in Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharastra . The opening took place on May 8, 2018. On an area of ​​around 35,000 m², around 500,000 devices are to be produced annually by around 1,000 employees, especially for India and the neighboring countries.
