The Liebherr Group has purchased 480,000 square meters of land in Tupelo, Mississippi, to build a new logistics distribution center. This facility will serve customers across North and South America, focusing on spare parts logistics. The project is set to create around 180 new jobs in the region.
The site will be part of Liebherr’s expanding logistics network, handling warehousing, distribution, pre-assembly, kitting, repackaging, and customs services. This expansion aims to enhance Liebherr's presence in the American market.
Liebherr-Logistics GmbH, the group's internal logistics provider, currently operates out of Oberopfingen, Germany, and Born, the Netherlands. The new Tupelo center will join these hubs, supporting various product segments including earthmoving machinery and maritime cranes.
Additionally, Liebherr plans to invest over $200 million to develop a campus on the site, offering services and producing innovative products. This long-term investment is expected to create over 300 new jobs, demonstrating the company’s commitment to future growth and technological advancement.
