Ss with most (if not all) of the major global manufacturers, Liebherr is seeing strong demand for its construction machines at present. With production and sales having been initially constrained during the COVID-19 pandemic as some customers held off from purchase decisions, there has been a pent-up demand for construction equipment. Many governments are investing in infrastructure development as a means to boost economic growth in the wake of the pandemic, further boosting demand for machines. One of the earthmoving machine factories benefiting from that strong demand at present is the Liebherr Werk Telfs (LWT) facility in Austria, perhaps best known for its hydrostatic bulldozers. Liebherr has been making bulldozers at the plant in Telfs since 1976 and the factory now sits on a 179,200m~2 site and employs close to 800 staff, while turnover for the factory was around €270 million in 2021. The company has invested heavily in the factory in recent years, buying new machine tools and extending the production facility. And a new building is being constructed at present that will house a logistics centre at a cost of around €35 million. |
