Liebherr Aerospace
Liebherr-Aerospace is the aerospace equipment manufacturing division of Liebherr. The company is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM); its low visibility in the minds of end consumers can be attributed to the OEM nature of all of its operations.
Liebherr-Aerospace contributed €1.3 billion ($1.5bn) to total Liebherr group sales of €9 billion in 2016. This represented an increase of nearly 5% in turnover for the division. The division was reported to be employing around 5400 people all over the world. It has two primary production and assembly centres: Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse and Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg.
Some of the other sites include: Liebherr-Aerospace Saline, Michigan, U.S., Liebherr-Aerospace Singapore, Liebherr-Aerospace Dubai, U.A.E, Liebherr-Aerospace Laval, Canada, Liebherr-Aerospace Maintenance centre, Shanghai, Liebherr-Aerospace, Bangalore, India, Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse, Campsas site, Liebherr-Aerospace Brasil, Guaratingueta, Liebherr-Aerospace Nizhny Novgorod (Russia).
The Lindenberg and Toulouse centres of Liebherr have been recognized by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as a Design Organization Approval (DOA) certified company. This certification encompasses: landing gear systems, air management systems, and flight control actuation systems.
Liebherr-Aerospace supplies aircraft flight control and actuation systems, landing gear, air management systems (bleed air systems, wing anti ice, etc.), on-board electronics as well as gears and gearboxes for the aerospace industry. These systems are deployed in wide-bodied aircraft, single aisle and regional aircraft, business jets, combat aircraft, military transport aircraft, military training aircraft, civil helicopters and combat helicopters.
Being in Toulouse, Liebherr-Aerospace benefits from being in close proximity to the base of operations of one of their most important customers, Airbus.
Apart from manufacturing activities Liebherr-Aerospace also services and overhauls in-service components for their customers (Airlines etc.). It also provides training courses for mechanics, engineers and other relevant personnel who work with any Aircraft which carries Liebherr products.
On 16 July 2018, it was reported that Liebherr-Aerospace was expanding its services in a new direction by setting up a global network for USM parts to be managed from their Dubai offices. They plan to source own products and systems from retired aircraft, perform repairs if necessary and redistribute and sell through their network. The serviced parts will be released with appropriate airworthiness certifications and will come with a "Repaired by Liebherr" tag instead of a "New" tag. It is reported that their initial focus will be on Airbus fleets and families with a subsequent expansion. The target Customers are those with mature fleets, who will be requiring OEM quality parts at lower operation costs.
