Liebherr holds groundbreaking ceremony for Colmar extension

On the back of the approx. €90 million investment, Liebherr is expecting to almost double engine output at the plant by 2030.

The new addition will create a further 11,600 square meters of production and logistics floorspace, while increasing assembly operations from 13 to 18 stations.

A further two high-power test benches will be added, bringing the site’s total to six.

In addition to the added capacity, the newly-extended site will play a key role in development of new, high-power engines intended to support power delivery for large-scale customers, including data centers.

The new addition is excepted to create a further 200 jobs at the Colmar plant.
