Not all of our cranes build things. And not all of our colleagues are human. In edition #9 of the newsletter, we explore how our tower cranes are helping scientists with climate research in the pioneering AmazonFACE programme. We also explain how ‘Herbie’ and ‘Wall-E’, the autonomous helpers, support a fully automated assembly station developed entirely in-house by Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH. 🎟️ Fancy a story or two that might surprise you? Consider this your backstage pass. #liebherr #towercranes #automation #technologyatwork #expecttheunexpected

🔥 Here's proof that when our apprentices are passionate about a project, smoke can surprisingly be part of the plan. At least when they're designing and building their own smoker. Giving apprentices the opportunity to take ownership of real projects is an important part of our vocational training. From concept and planning to production and the finished result, this project allowed them to apply their skills, work as a team and bring their own ideas to life. What was your favourite thing to build during your apprenticeship or studies? 👇 #liebherr #liebherrcareer #OnePassion #azubi #apprenticeship #BBQ #DIY #smoker

Some career paths lead to offices. Others take you into the canopy of the world’s largest rainforest. 🌿 For Bruna, application engineer at Liebherr in Brazil, a typical day means supporting the AmazonFACE programme. Our cranes take on a role far from construction, enabling research where it matters most. We help lift scientists into the treetops to understand how rising CO₂ levels are transforming the Amazon. 📖 Follow Bruna's path into the rainforest and those fighting for its future: https://lnkd.in/ggne4M-D #liebherr #AmazonFACE #climatescience #towercranes #purposeatwork #amazonrainforest Note: This video is narrated by an AI voice. Transparency note: The tower cranes used in the AmazonFACE programme were acquired based on technical and operational criteria, aimed at meeting the specific infrastructure needs of the experiment. The mention of Liebherr-branded equipment is purely informative and does not represent any form of institutional, commercial, or reputational endorsement of the company or its corporate practices. The AmazonFACE programme, which is scientifically coordinated by INPA, Unicamp and the Met Office, and supported by the Brazilian and UK governments, remains committed to science, transparency and integrity in all its actions.

How do we face challenges? At our site in Kirchdorf, Gerd Schönfelder shared personal insights into his journey as a Paralympic athlete and spoke about motivation, mental strength and the importance of mindset. In his opening remarks, Managing Director Mr Niesl highlighted a topic that is particularly relevant in times of change: embracing challenges, adapting to new circumstances and maintaining a forward-looking perspective. Building on this, Gerd Schönfelder drew compelling parallels between elite sport and everyday working life, showing how resilience, determination and attitude can make a difference when facing difficult situations. One message stood out: while we cannot influence every circumstance, we can choose how we respond to it. Especially in times of change, collaboration, responsibility and a positive mindset help us move forward together. 💪 📸 From left to right: Mr Niesl, Managing Director, and Gerd Schönfelder. #Liebherr #LiebherrCareer #Motivation #TeamSpirit #PersonalDevelopment #LeadershipDevelopment #OnePassion

Offshore romance at its best! ♥️ A beautiful encounter between two generations of our offshore cranes: RL 900 and MTC 2600. One is installed on an offshore substation in the Baltic Sea. The other is operating on a jack-up vessel. One has been supporting offshore operations since 2007. The other joined the fleet in 2025. Although they work on different assets, their paths crossed offshore for one special moment. Now we're curious... What do you think they're talking about? 📸: Thies Reining #liebherr #offshoreindustry #maritimecranes #offshorecrane

Behind every crane, there is a story. 👷♂️ With Alex Oberhöller, we are proud to introduce the first Liftinghero as part of the relaunch of our Liftinghero campaign. At just 18 years old, Alex became one of the youngest crane operators in South Tyrol. Today, he works on demanding construction sites where precision, experience and quick decision-making are essential. One particular project in the historic center of Bolzano stands out. Faced with limited visibility, challenging lifting operations and unreliable radio communication, Alex refused to accept the situation as it was. Instead, he came up with his own camera solution to continue working safely and efficiently. To us, this is what being a Liftinghero is all about: taking responsibility, thinking ahead and finding solutions when challenges arise. Because behind every lift, there is a person with a story worth telling. And yes, that passion even made it under his skin. 👉 Read Alex’s full story: https://lnkd.in/g_FJmGW9 #liftinghero #liebherr #towercranes #construction #craneoperator

Sometimes, something lasting starts with a simple idea. 🌳🤝 At our sites of Liebherr-Appliances in Ochsenhausen 🇩🇪 and Plovdiv 🇧🇬, colleagues have taken part in local initiatives to help shape their surroundings. In Ochsenhausen, the company grounds were greened. In Plovdiv, employees and their families planted trees as part of the Active Green initiative. Different activities, one common element: people coming together and getting involved locally. Thank you to all colleagues and families who took part. 🌳 #Liebherr #LiebherrCareers #Initiative #TeamSpirit #Collaboration #WorkingTogether #EmployeeEngagement

How do you bring business and engineering together in a dual study programme? For Zeynep, it means turning theory into practice directly with us at our site in Nenzing. As part of her Industrial Engineering degree, she gains insights across different areas of our business and is currently working on research topics related to human-centred AI and digital solutions. What inspires her most is the combination of business and engineering – and the opportunity to contribute to real projects from an early stage. #Liebherr #LiebherrCareer #IndustrialEngineering #ADayInTheLife #OnePassion
