Liebherr-France SAS is opening a new €170mn manufacturing site for welded components and pre-assembly and assembly work for driver cabs in the EcoRhena industrial park in Nambsheim, Alsace.
Part of Liebherr-France SAS’ efforts to strengthen local supply chains, the new 47-hectare site, set to open in 2025, will create more than 300 jobs. It will enable the company to relocate certain activities to the vicinity of its existing manufacturing site in Colmar, further strengthening its long-term competitiveness and independence.
The industrial park in Nambsheim is under the responsibility of a French special-purpose association (Syndicat Mixte Ouvert), which also manages the Rhine port of Colmar/Neuf-Brisach. With the support of this Syndicat Mixte Ouvert, Liebherr-France SAS has acquired the land at the EcoRhena business park in Nambsheim (Haut-Rhin). In addition to being close to Liebherr-France SAS’ Colmar site, the new Alsace facility will be close to the Swiss and German borders and near a multimodal transport centre.
One production area at the new site will produce important welded parts for Liebherr’s construction machinery portfolio, such as crawler and mobile excavators. These include components of the chassis or work equipment. This area will offer a wide range of technical professions in welding, machining and plant engineering. A second production area will focus on pre-assembly and assembly work on driver’s cabs for Liebherr construction machinery.
