Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH
Electric Back-up Hydraulic Actuator for Airbus A380
Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH, based in Lindau
(Germany), develops and manufactures
high-grade electronic sub-assemblies and
components for construction machinery,
the aviation industry and railway ap-
plications. The company is part of the
Components Division, one of ten prod-
uct divisions within the worldwide ac-
tive Liebherr Group. Founded in 2001,
Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH today em-
ploys around 570 people, 135 thereof are
working in the development department.
In 2011 the company recorded a turnover
of about 75 million Euros. The product
range includes control and automation
electronics for construction machinery
and avionics, power electronics for highly
dynamic flap control mechanisms, drive
electronics for air conditioning systems
for aviation and railway applications,
converters, as well as display and operat-
ing panels for application in construction
machinery and aircraft cockpits.
Its diverse portfolio represents the com-
prising know-how and expertise of the
company. Liebherr’s high-quality electro
nic systems distinguish themselves by
their robustness and longevity in harsh
environments. Products are designed to
be safety critical, ‘fit and forget’, for long
operating times and with long-term avail-
ability. Their development, production,
and service are always oriented by pro-
ject-specific and economic requirements.
That is how Liebherr implements custom-
ised electronics solutions on the highest
technological level and provides its cus-
tomers a future-oriented partnership.
Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH continually
expands its technologies in order to
achieve highest quality and reliability.
The components must endure significant
strain on specially developed test and
simulation benches, for instance light-
ning strokes, moisture or strong vibra-
tions. Only if the result is 100% satis-
factory, a new development is qualified.
Fully certified Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH
has a series of certifications according to
international industry, aviation and en-
vironmental standards. Regular internal
and external audits ensure the sustain-
ability of the quality-assurance measures
in the individual departments.
For many years, Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH
has been cooperating with several na-
tional and European research projects,
such as MOET, JTI CleanSky, EfA, Energy-
