Liebherr-Canada Ltd.

What Liebherr-Canada Ltd. does

Liebherr-Canada Ltd. is the Canadian wholly-owned subsidiary of the privately held, family-run Liebherr Group, headquartered in Burlington, Ontario and operating through more than ten sales and service locations across Canada. The company distributes and supports the full Liebherr product range in the Canadian market, including earthmoving equipment (wheeled and crawler excavators, wheel loaders, dozers), mobile and crawler cranes, tower cranes, maritime cranes, deep foundation machines, material handling equipment, mining equipment, concrete technology, gear technology and automation systems, components, and refrigeration and freezing appliances. Its customer base spans construction, mining, infrastructure, aerospace, and logistics enterprises, with B2B field sales supplemented by dealer and service partner networks, online channels (MyLiebherr portal, used.liebherr.com marketplace), and licensing partnerships for local manufacturing of selected products.

The company's underlying technology rests on in-house manufacturing capability across 13 product segments, proprietary control and electronics systems (Litronic, SmartControl), registered trademarks for product identity (Liebherr Connect, MyLiebherr, LiDAT), and a remanufacturing programme (Reman) that delivers exchange components, general overhauls, and repairs for diesel engines, hydraulic components, and gearboxes. Digital infrastructure includes the Liebherr Connect telemetry platform, the MyLiebherr customer portal for 24/7 parts ordering and equipment management, and a Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) framework to address cybersecurity across connected products. The company participates in major industry exhibitions including Bauma, MINExpo, SMM, IFA, and IMTS, and conducts active marketing through LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, alongside a dedicated careers portal.

Liebherr-Canada generates revenue through a diversified mix of hardware sales (heavy equipment, spare parts, domestic appliances), professional services (maintenance, remanufacturing, technical support), licensing royalties from technology transfer partnerships, and transaction-based income from used equipment sales on its marketplace. Pricing is quote-based and configuration-driven and is not publicly disclosed. The broader Liebherr Group, founded in 1949 by Hans Liebherr and remaining family-controlled, operates more than 150 companies in over 50 countries with over 50,000 employees, providing the parent-level scale, brand heritage, and capital base that underpins the Canadian subsidiary's operations.
