Liebherr will relocate part of production to Bulgaria

Liebherr-Mischtechnik GmbH, the concrete technology division of German-Swiss equipment manufacturer Liebherr, plans to relocate its concrete mixers and mixing plants operations from Germany to its Bulgarian facility in the Trakia Economic Zone near Plovdiv.

The transfer will include parts of production, development and administrative activities, creating 250 new jobs at the Liebherr Concrete Technology Marica plant. The move, which will take place in stages, is set to be completed by 2028.

Liebherr will also expand production capacity and office space. The group opened its Bulgarian concrete mixers plant in 2022.
In 2000, Liebherr launched its first facility in Bulgaria, Liebherr-Hausgeraete Marica, which manufactures refrigerators and freezers. Its second plant, Liebherr-Transportation Systems Marica, makes air conditioning systems for railway transport.
