A new production plant for large roller bearings has started up at Liebherr-Components Biberach GmbH. The new machine can produce roller bearings of up to 9.5 meters in diameter, setting a Liebherr record.

The first roller bearings to be produced – weighing 34 tons and 7.8 meters in diameter – will be used in the installation of offshore wind turbines.

Two Liebherr Betomix 3.0 mixing plants are producing concrete for one of Austria’s and the European Union’s most important infrastructure projects: the Brenner base tunnel. The two plants have a combined output of around 240 cubic meters of fresh concrete per hour.

The purpose of this major project is to build a new rail connection between Austria and Italy. At 64 kilometers, it will be the longest underground stretch of railway in the world.

The new customer center for Liebherr domestic appliances in Ochsenhausen sets new standards in architecture. In the building, whose glass facades are decorated with refrigerawtors, visitors can get to know the latest range of refrigerators and freezers up close in a public showroom.

In addition to the showroom, the five-story building also has office space, conference rooms, training rooms and event rooms with a total area of over 3,500 square meters.
