Liebherr acquires land for new logistics centre in Mississippi

Liebherr has acquired 480,000 square metres of land in Mississippi. On this site, Liebherr plans to build a new logistics distribution centre for spare parts for North and South America. In addition, the company intends to establish a campus on the site, where various business units from different product segments will operate in the future.

The recently purchased site is in the Hive Business Park in Tupelo. The continental warehouse of Liebherr-Logistics GmbH will handle logistics and service operations, such as warehousing, distribution, value-added services – pre-assembly, kitting, repackaging – as well as customs and export services. With the establishment of the new logistics center in the U.S., Liebherr aims to create around 180 new jobs in the region.

As the internal logistics service provider of the Liebherr Group, Liebherr-Logistics GmbH operates spare parts logistics for several different Liebherr production companies. Liebherr-Logistics GmbH provides logistics services for the product segments earthmoving machinery, components, concrete technology, tower crane and maritime cranes, thus serving over 70 Liebherr sales and service companies worldwide with more than 20 different product lines.

Since 2015, Liebherr-Logistics GmbH has been supplying its markets from Oberopfingen in southern Germany. In 2023, a second distribution warehouse was opened in Born, the Netherlands, to be closer to customers in Northern and Western Europe.

In addition to the continental logistics centre, the Liebherr Group plans to establish additional facilities for various Liebherr companies and offer additional services on the acquired site in the future. The Liebherr Group plans to invest over $200 million in the development of the future campus. The planned buildings will be used to render services and produce innovative products, meeting the highest technological standards.
