Liebherr opens new office in Saudi Arabia
11 January 2017 by Sotiris KanarisLiebherr has built its own office complex in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, having outgrown its old offices in rented buildings.
The company said that the new office will further improve its services to customers in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries.
The newly erected buildings will house sales and service staff from the mobile and crawler cranes, deep foundation, tower cranes and concrete technology product divisions.
The new facilities will provide more warehousing space to enable improved spare parts supplies and greater availability of parts in general. They include air-conditioned warehousing areas, for example for electronic and rubber parts. In addition a warehouse for particularly large components has also been erected. The fully equipped workshop area is big enough even for large cranes.
"Repairs, after-sales service using genuine parts, washing and testing—we can now provide our customers with a complete care-free package", says Markus Burgstall, manager of the mobile cranes division in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is one of the main markets for Liebherr in the Middle East, with the company having its own employees there for 35 years. Its headquarters are located in Jeddah and Liebherr also has offices in Riyadh.
“The new complex in Dammam took just 14 months to build and represents a clear commitment by Liebherr to its local customers and partners and its long term confidence in the market even though it is currently going through a tough period with investment being extremely slow as a result of the low oil price,” Liebherr said.
