Liebherr in $85m expansion in South Australia
24 April 2013
Mining equipment and services provider Liebherr-Australia has started work on an $85 million expansion of its head office in Adelaide, part of the global expansion of Swiss-based Liebherr Group.
“A significant increase in the sales of Leibherr mining and construction equipment across Australia has seen demand for our after-sales support increase dramatically,” Managing Director Greg Graham said.
The headquarters expansion includes workshops, a warehouse, component plant and distribution centre, as well as a three-storey office building. Mr Graham said the project would create 125 jobs between now and 2016.
“This facility will provide re-manufactured components and logistics services to support Liebherr equipment in Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland,” he said.
The expansion plans follow the opening recently of Leibherr-Australia’s sales and service centre in Sydney. The new $44 million centre is a base from which to coordinate the company’s sales and services of its mobile and crawler cranes, earthmovers and other equipment in Australia and New Zealand.
Liebherr-Australia makes, sells and services cranes, earthmovers and other mining equipment. It is part of the global network of privately owned Liebherr Group, headquartered in Bulle, Switzerland. It employs more than 35,000 people in 130 countries worldwide.
