en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 23, 2026, the Liebherr Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for its future manufacturing plant in Nambsheim (Haut-Rhin department), France. The plant will be dedicated exclusively to the assembly of cabs for earthmoving machinery, with operations scheduled to begin in early 2028 and a designed annual production capacity of up to 10,000 units.
Witnessed by local government representatives, business partners, and the group's team, the ceremony marks a turning point in Liebherr's industrial development in the Alsace region. Driven by the group's Earthmoving division, the project aims to consolidate strategic expertise at a single location, enhance the group's industrial autonomy, and respond to the growing demand for construction machinery in the European market.
Liebherr is investing over €100 million in the site, which is expected to accommodate more than 200 employees upon completion. Franck Leroy, President of the Grand Est region, stated that the region will provide at least €1 million in funding for the project. Sebastien Seitz, Managing Director of Production at Liebherr-France SAS, noted that the project is focused on long-term development, reflecting the group's long-term vision, deep local roots, and high industrial standards.
As a next-generation industrial base, Liebherr-EMtec Nambsheim plans to integrate high standards of environmental and energy performance, with the goal of achieving BREEAM certification (the international benchmark for sustainable buildings). Specific measures include optimizing energy consumption, using renewable energy, managing water and resources responsibly, and limiting the impact on local residents.
The Liebherr Group has been present in France since 1961, with a historic base in Colmar. Currently, the group employs approximately 5,000 people in France, with over 3,000 in Colmar alone, covering earthmoving machinery, mining equipment, component production, distribution, and services. Additionally, since 1971, Liebherr Aerospace has been operating in Toulouse, becoming a key player in the aerospace systems sector.
