Liebherr is a German-Swiss multinational equipment manufacturer based in Bulle, Switzerland, with its main production facilities and origins in Germany.

After the war, he started by building affordable tower cranes; Liebherr expanded into making aircraft parts, it is a significant supplier to European Airbus airplane manufacturer—and commercial chiller displays and freezers, as well as domestic refrigerators.

The group's nine-axle mobile crane, the LTM 11200–9.1—with a 100-metre (328 ft) telescopic boom—in 2007 received the heavy-lifting industry's Development of the Year award for being the world's most powerful example of such a machine.

Over the years, the family business has grown into a group of varied companies, and has locations in many countries, including Germany, Australia, Britain, Ireland, Turkey, and the United States.

The development includes adding a new three-storey office, workshops, warehouse, component plant, and distribution centre to the Para Hills facility.

On 19 February 2013, representatives from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the cities of Newport News and Hampton announced that they would make grants and incentives available for transport improvement, training, and property investment.

The B4Ukraine report notes that Liebherr's decision to maintain operations contradicts international calls for businesses to withdraw from the Russian market as a form of economic pressure against the invasion.
