Aircraft: Airplanes

Liebherr will realign and further increase its activities at Liebherr-Transportation Systems Marica EOOD in Bulgaria by establishing a new and larger production site in the vicinity of the existing location, which eventually will be vacated. The new site is expected to be fully operational in 2026. On a surface of 20,000 sqm Liebherr will further develop its existing activities for the railway and commercial vehicle markets, with a focus on heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for trains and cooling systems for refrigerated semi-trailers. 

Further, new assembly capabilities for aerospace applications will be implemented. Over the next years, production is expected to ramp up for the assembly of flight control and air management systems.

The additional assembly capabilities will be key to coping with the increasing market demand and secure continuous long-term performance of industrial operations. It also serves Liebherr’s double-sourcing strategy for increased resilience, positioning the company as a major supplier of systems for the future transport modes.

The realignment of the assembly activities will create additional jobs at the new site in the Plovdiv area, while Liebherr aims to maintain its workforce at the existing sites unaffected, benefiting from growth in other product areas or activities.
