By virtue of its good geo-strategic location, the com- pany also decided to build a sales and service center in the Port of Hamburg. In 2019, Liebherr opened the Center on a 44,000-square-metre site in Kuhwerder basin. This location offers the company good mul- ti-faceted infrastructure: Access to autobahns and railway, a public transport network, and direct ac- cess to water over three quay walls. The new branch is responsible for maintenance for mobile port cranes, ship cranes and offshore cranes, as well as construction equipment from the product ranges: ca- ble excavators, crawler cranes and deep foundation equipment.
“We have invested in a location offering long-term potential growth in many directions. By virtue of the logistics pre-conditions, the Port of Hamburg is our central hub for the rental and returns service, as well as all kinds of repairs throughout Europe,” says Jörg Schmidt, CEO of Liebherr-MCCtec Sales and Ser- vice.
