With an eye on growing American market share, Germany-based equipment maker Liebherr is expanding it's offerings in the U.S. with a lineup of machines set to debut at CONEXPO 2014 and an articulated dump truck coming in 2015.
"We need to increase our coverage," said Peter Mayr, president of Liebherr Construction Equipment Co. at a trade press held Sept. 12 in Newport News, Va. "At the moment we do not have enough dealers out there; there are some very important areas where we need to close some gaps," he added, predicting that "we see our U.S. market share increasing in the next five to seven years by 300%."
