Liebherr enhances its industrial capabilities with new state-of-the-art facility in Campsas
Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse, the Liebherr Group's center of excellence for air systems, is pursuing its industrial development in the Occitanie region with the construction of a 12,000 m² state-of-the-art building on its Campsas site in the Tarn-et-Garonne region. Commissioning is scheduled for 2025.
With strong growth projected for 2030, Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse is investing in the future with the construction of a new industrial building at its Campsas site in the Tarn-et-Garonne region. The facility is located close to the current plant, which is specialized in the machining of high-precision mechanical parts. These include turbine and compressor wheels and high-temperature valve bodies, which are integrated in bleed air and air-conditioning systems.
The current Campsas plant employs 200 people and is equipped with state-of-the-art machining centers and additive manufacturing machines (ALM).
With the new industrial building project, the Campsas site will double its current surface area by 2025.
With a surface area of 12,000 m², the new low-energy building will be dedicated to the production of heat exchangers, key components in aircraft air-conditioning systems, currently carried out at the Toulouse site. This eco-responsible building will also be the company's "industry 4.0" showcase, featuring state-of-the-art production technologies and industrial processes.
Since the beginning of 2022, a detailed design phase has been underway to define the building and its location on the site, in line with environmental regulations. Construction of the building is due to start in September 2023, with commissioning scheduled for 2025 to enable the gradual installation of manufacturing processes.
The project includes a social component designed to support employees whose jobs will be transferred from the Toulouse site to the Campsas site. The Campsas site will eventually employ 400 people.
At Liebherr’s facility in Toulouse, the area freed up by the relocation of the heat exchanger production activity will enable a significant increase in industrial capacity for the assembly and maintenance of other equipment for air systems.
With an investment of almost € 30 million, Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse confirms its roots in Campsas in the Occitanie region, and its determination to continue developing its expertise in France. The company is expanding its industrial capacity to support the growth of its strategic activities and conquer new markets.
