On its new site in the Hive Business Park in Tupelo, Mississippi, Liebherr plans to expand its logistics network for North and South America with a state-of-the-art spare parts logistics centre.
Liebherr has acquired 480,000 square metres of land for the project. The continental warehouse of Liebherr-Logistics GmbH will handle logistics and service operations, such as warehousing, distribution, value-added services, pre-assembly, kitting, repackaging as well as customs and export services. The establishment of the new logistics centre will create about 180 new jobs in the region.
With a staff of more than 430 employees, Liebherr-Logistics GmbH provides logistics services for the product segments earthmoving machinery, components, concrete technology, tower cranes and maritime cranes, serving more than 70 Liebherr sales and service companies worldwide with more than 20 different product lines.
Since 2015, Liebherr-Logistics GmbH has been supplying its markets from Oberopfingen in southern Germany. In 2023, a second distribution warehouse was opened in Born, the Netherlands, to be closer to customers in Northern and Western Europe.
In addition to the continental logistics centre, the Liebherr Group plans to establish additional facilities for various Liebherr companies and offer additional services on the acquired site in the future.
The Liebherr Group plans to invest more than $200 million for the development of the future campus. The planned buildings will be used to render services and produce innovative products, meeting the highest technological standards. This underscores the family-owned company’s commitment to working on solutions for the future in the field of product development and building and strengthening long-term partnerships. In the long run, Liebherr plans to create more than 300 new jobs on the campus.
