On 17 February, Liebherr marked a significant milestone with the ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of Liebherr Aerospace Brasil LTDA in Guaratinguetá, near São Paulo, Brasil. The event was attended by invited guests, company management, and Liebherr employees, officially launching the construction phase.
Over the next decade, Liebherr will invest approximately €45 million (US$47.25 million) in the expansion. Within the next two years, the additional 8,000 m² facility will be used for machining and surface treatment of high-precision aircraft components made from aluminium and steel. The new facility will support Liebherr in meeting the sharp increase in production demand currently affecting the aerospace industry.
Since 2005, Liebherr Aerospace Brasil LTDA has been manufacturing critical high-tech components for flight control and actuation systems, environmental control and thermal management systems, landing gear systems, and aircraft engines. The company holds certifications in line with the latest industry standards, such as Nadcap, and operates with an advanced industrial set-up.
This expansion reinforces Liebherr’s commitment to strengthening its aerospace capabilities and responding to the growing needs of the global aviation sector.
