After being welcomed by Liebherr MCCtec Rostock managing director Leopold Berthold, the ambassador discussed the current situation for the maritime industry in the US market with some of the company’s sales managers. Liebherr’s maritime division has been successfully represented in the US with its entire range of products. Especially the mobile harbour cranes produced in Rostock have acquired an excellent reputation in the US in recent years and are being used in ports all over the country. In 2015, approximately 10% of the Liebherr mobile harbour cranes ordered throughout the world were sold in the US. This emphasizes the importance of the North American market for the Liebherr company. With more than 1,400 units delivered to 100 countries worldwide Liebherr mobile harbour cranes convince in all fields of application such as container handling, bulk operation and even heavy lifts up to 308 tonnes.
Thanks to the broad ship and port crane product portfolio Liebherr was also able to respond to several specific customer requirements in the US market. Liebherr, for example, realised a prestige project at the Niagara Falls in the State of New York. This special installed crane, type FCC 320R, is used to lift the visitor boats out of the water and to store them on the pier at the end of each season.
Despite the current difficult market situation in the offshore sector Liebherr managed it to deliver 24 offshore cranes with a contract value of approximately €50m in the past ten years to the US. The ship-to-shore container cranes, produced in the Liebherr factory in Killarney in Ireland, are in great demand in US American ports. This year alone, four gantry cranes were delivered to New Jersey. For the new Liebherr Reachstacker model, the LRS 545, the company also expects high potential in the US market.
The very informative conversation Liebherr representatives underlined the importance of the North American market for the company. After very informative dialogues, Ambassador John B. Emerson and his wife Kimberly joined a factory tour through the production site of Liebherr Rostock and were really impressed: "Fascinating what Liebherr established at this young facility. These huge cranes which are produced in Rostock and supplied from here to the whole world, that’s really impressive."

PODCAST: The Story of Liebherr Cranes, Killarney
This is a fascinating account of the origins of a company which has had far reaching and very positive effects on the economy of a town in Ireland’s southwest.
In 1949 in Germany, Hans Liebherr invented the tower crane, and he later commissioned the first Liebherr factory outside of Germany with the intention of gaining a foothold in the British and American markets. A site on the outskirts of Killarney was decided upon for the facility which would manufacture tower cranes, followed by container, shipyard and special cranes.
In this podcast, Hans Leibherr explains the reasons why he chose Killarney as the site for his factory, and discusses the expansion of the facility over the years, the outstanding success of the business and the logistics of transporting the crane parts.
Other voices to be heard are those of Klaus Nolke, Technical Director at Liebherr, his wife Christal Nolke, Sales Director Finian Ford, driver Brendan Griffin, administrator Brian O’Kelly, and Director of Fenit Harbour Board Michael Latchford.

ONE of Kerry’s biggest employers, the Liebherr container crane manufacturing plant in Killarney, is to host a community open day, with guided tours of the facility, on Sunday, July 20.
The German-owned plant, an integral part of the Liebherr group of companies, employs over 750 people at its Fossa factory and it has delivered over 700 container cranes worldwide.
It was founded in Killarney in 1958 and supplied its first tower crane in 1959. Since 1972, Liebherr in Killarney has focused exclusively on the design, manufacture and sale of container cranes for the world market.
Investment in the Killarney plant has continued since its foundation and last year a new state-of-the-art production hall was completed.
In addition, the introduction in recent years of a new high-tech machining hall and a purpose-built shot blasting facility have enhanced the production process.
Divided into more than 130 autonomous companies, employing more than 35,000 people around the world, the Liebherr Group has an annual turnover of over €8 billion.
The Liebherr family also owns the five-star Europe Hotel and Resort and Dunloe Castle Hotel in Killarney as well as Árd na Sidhe country house at Caragh Lake
Liebherr management and staff have invited all members of the public to the factory for the open day that will run from 11.00am to 4.00pm
Visitors will be given a tour of the factory and will receive information on its history, products and processes.
