Liebherr invests 32 million euros: jobs for Kirchdorf!

The Liebherr Group is making a name for itself with a hefty investment of 32.7 million euros in the expansion of its location in Kirchdorf an der Iller. The plans are ambitious: a new shipping center will be built here, which will expand the location by around 40,000 square meters. Loud Mercury Construction will start in February 2026 and completion is targeted for early 2028.

The project will not only optimize shipping, but also serve as a basis for further developments by Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH. Mayor Rainer Langenbacher welcomes the initiative as a positive signal for the entire region. The central realignment of shipping is intended to relieve traffic in the community, while all outbound logistics are now bundled in one place, thereby increasing traffic safety for employees. Heavy goods traffic will arrive via Fellheimer Straße, so that the center of Kirchdorf is spared Swabian reported.

New jobs on the horizon

An outstanding goal of the expansion is the newly created jobs. Liebherr plans to offer additional jobs in the medium term with the plant expansion. However, the scope depends heavily on the digitalization and automation that will be implemented in the new premises. The shipping center will be equipped with the latest building technology and renewable energies. What is particularly noteworthy is that roof areas will be equipped with photovoltaic systems, while the energy supply will be provided via district heating.

The work of Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH is not new - the company has been producing construction machinery in Kirchdorf for over 75 years. The location has a long tradition and there is a certain weight in these expansion plans, which also have strategic importance for the company's competitiveness. The new shipping center will make it possible to ship over 6,000 units per year, particularly for port handling machines.

Economic framework conditions

The current economic situation shows that companies in Germany are gradually investing again in equipment and new infrastructure. According to Deloitte A recovery in the propensity to invest is to be expected in certain sectors, with low financing costs should support the investment climate. However, fears of insolvency and decline are mixed with increasing uncertainty in the geopolitical situation, which is not conducive to economic growth.

Nevertheless, the decline in capital costs shows that the willingness to invest is increasing, particularly in the services sector, while a certain degree of caution remains in the manufacturing sector. The expansion of the Liebherr location could be a ray of hope for the entire region and the industry, showing that despite the challenges there is still potential for growth.

In summary, Liebherr not only creates jobs with its investment, but also shows how important it is to react to the signs of the times and to combine innovative strength with future-oriented construction projects. The next few years offer exciting prospects for Kirchdorf and the region.
