2021 a pushy year for Liebherr


In 2021, the Liebherr Group achieved a total turnover of EUR 11.6 billion which corresponds to a rise of 12.6% or EUR 1.3 billion compared to the previous year. The group was thus almost able to match its previous record year in 2019 in terms of annual turnover. Net profit for 2021 was EUR 545 million, "a value above the level before the pandemic", as the company said.

 

All in all, the Liebherr Group employed more than 49,600 people worldwide, almost 1,700 more than in the previous year. The company invested EUR 559 million in research and development in 2021.

 

The start of the development phase of the first all-electric offshore crane marked the launch of the electrification of the product portfolio in this area.

 

Despite the fact that there are still uncertainties with regard to pandemic-related restrictions, the effects of steep price increases for many goods and services, shortages of certain raw materials and the lack of skilled workers, as well as bottlenecks in various supply chains, Liebherr said it is "cautiously optimistic about the rest of the year."
