The 439 Liebherr Group has acquired concrete pump manufacturer Waitzinger, based in Neu-Ulm, Germany.

The Waitzinger takeover completes Liebherr's product range in the concrete technology sector.
Waitzinger Baumaschinenwas founded in 1991, and today employs a staff of nearly 60 in Neu-Ulm, specialising in the development and production of truck-mounted concrete pumps, trailer concrete pumps and truck mixer concrete pumps. These products will now also be distributed via Liebherr's international sales and service organisation.

This is the perfect complement to Liebherr-Mischtechnik product range and to date the company based in Bad Schussenried has developed and produced mobile and stationary mixing plants as well as truck mixers and conveyor belts for truck mixers.
The acquisition of Waitzinger has afforded Liebherr-Mischtechnik the status of full-range supplier in the concrete technology sector.

Liebherr says its goal is to expand the concrete pump product range and thus further improve its international competitive position in the concrete technology sector.
