TUPELO, MS — On its new site in the Hive Business Park in Tupelo, Mississippi, Liebherr plans to expand its logistics network for the North and South American continents with a spare parts logistics center, thereby strengthening its presence in the American market.
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 a number of different Liebherr production companies. With a staff of over 430 employees, Liebherr-Logistics GmbH provides logistics services for the product segments earthmoving machinery, components, concrete technology, tower cranes, 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. Now, another logistics site is being added. In Tupelo, Mississippi, the Liebherr Group has acquired a plot of land with a size of 5,166,677 square feet, where it intends to build and operate a logistics distribution center for the American continent.
In addition to the continental logistics center, 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 for the development of the future campus.
