history
In 1949, Hans Liebherr and a team of engineers, fitters, blacksmiths and technicians designed and built the first mobile tower crane TK 10 in a series of five in Kirchdorf . 1954 the first hydraulic wheeled excavator, two years later crawler excavators and the wheel loaders already on the market in series production. Almost all construction machines manufactured by Liebherr were first developed at the Kirchdorf location, mass-produced and then outsourced to the 130 companies that now exist on all continents. With the construction of a 180-meter-long, 128-meter-wide and 25-meter-high assembly hall, additional administration buildings and a training center, the site was realigned in 2007. 1500 employees produce 2500 machines per year on an area of 400,000 m², 150,000 m² of which is covered hall space.
sales
Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH achieved sales of over EUR 600 million in the 2014 financial year, but this was offset by high material costs, which, together with the other expenses, consumed the profit, so that only a negative profit of around EUR 4.6 million was achieved. In the same period of the previous year the company was able to generate a positive profit of EUR 7.6 million. The loss had to be compensated by the parent company, Liebherr-EMtec GmbH.
