The Liebherr Group concluded the 2025 business year with a total revenue of €14,772m, representing a 1.0% increase of €150m compared to the previous year. This growth was supported by the Group’s broad diversification and decentralized structure, which helped offset declines in specific sectors. While the construction machine and mining sectors saw a revenue drop of 5.5% to €9,345m, other segments including maritime cranes, aerospace, and refrigerators achieved a significant combined growth of 14.7%, totaling €5,427m.
Investment remained high at €1,059m, with €708m specifically allocated to research and development. Key milestones included the unveiling of autonomous wheel loaders and battery-electric crawler excavators at Bauma 2025, alongside advancements in digital solutions and alternative drive technologies. Geographically, growth was driven by the European Union, particularly Germany, as well as regions in Central and South America, Africa, and the Middle East. The Group’s workforce also expanded by 1,235 employees, reaching a total of 55,963 worldwide.
The Group achieved a net income of €272m for the year. Looking ahead to 2026, Liebherr anticipates a challenging economic environment characterized by global uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. Although the year started with a promising order volume, the Group does not expect a marked period of growth until 2027. Consequently, the organization plans to utilize this period for targeted investments in site innovation and sustainable solutions to maintain long-term competitiveness.
