Members of the Liebherr family, executive management and Newport News city officials gathered in July for a groundbreaking ceremony at Copeland Industrial Park to celebrate the construction of the new Liebherr USA, Co. headquarters.
The commencement of this $45 million expansion project marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Liebherr in the U.S. The company that has been manufacturing and operating in Newport News, Virginia for over 48 years broke ground at the site adjacent to its current location.
The new facility will serve as the new headquarters for Liebherr USA, Co. and will include the construction of three new buildings: a state–of-the-art four story administrative building, a carefully designed warehouse and parts distribution center and a modernized production and workshop facility intended to support the company’s cranes, construction and concrete divisions.
Once completed, the new buildings will add over 251,000 sq.ft. to the existing 560,000 sq.ft. Liebherr campus. This investment will greatly impact the company’s operations in the U.S. and drive Liebherr’s strategy for long-term growth.
