New €35 million investment for Liebherr

439 Liebherr is starting work to build a new logistics centre at its Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger facility in Kirchdorf. The new building is expected to be ready at the end of 2019. "With the restructuring and the optimisation of the material flow, the logistics centre for production will make an important contribution in the future to efficient and high-quality production", said Matthias Herzog, production manager at Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger.

Following completion the new logistics centre for production will have an overall dimension of around 245m x 96m and a height of 22m. In the first construction phase, a new incoming goods area with a high-bay warehouse is to be built. The planned bay for trucks will feature a 20tonne crane system. In the second stage another high-bay warehouse and logistics areas for order picking, consolidation and packaging are to be erected. The workstations will be set up with modern technical systems and the complex logistics requirements will be supported by a warehouse management system, as well as sophisticated picking equipment.
