Liebherr-Aerospace opens new office in India

Liebherr-Aerospace has opened a new regional office in Bangalore on February 13, 2017. The opening underlines the aviation system supplier’s long-term strategy to increase its presence and to enlarge its footprint in India. The facility is ideally located in Whitefield, in the heart of Bangalore’s aerospace hub, and will employ staff with a solid industry background. Their main task will be to liaise with aircraft operators and Indian suppliers and to coordinate projects with the European-based OEM facilities Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH, Lindenberg (Germany), Liebherr’s center of excellence for flight control, actuation, gears, gearboxes and landing gear systems and Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS, Toulouse (France), Liebherr’s center of excellence for air management systems.
Liebherr-Aerospace expects India to evolve as one of the world’s major aerospace markets, both for aircraft manufacturing and for aircraft operation. The new regional office will therefore serve as a basis for the various strategic steps of Liebherr-Aerospace in the Indian aerospace market. The company is investing in the continuous growth of its capabilities in order to support Indian customers who are operating existing fleets of for example Airbus, ATR, Embraer, Dornier and Dassault aircraft. The customer service office based in Bangalore will reinforce the presence with each operator and ensure contact with Liebherr-Aerospace’s repair station in Singapore that is in charge of providing customer services in India and the Asian/Pacific Rim region.
