Liebherr designs customised refrigeration and freezer appliances for 125+ leading brands. Due to the high demand for environmentally friendly refrigerants, Liebherr was one of the first manufacturers to switch to hydrocarbons for its entire range of professional fridges and freezers.

First HFC-Free commercial appliances for food and medical industries

Liebherr was the first manufacturer to have changed over to environmentally friendly refrigerants propane (R290) and isobutene (R600a) for its entire range of refrigerators and freezers for commercial use. Due to the changeover to hydrocarbons, an even greater energy efficiency can be obtained.

The range of professional appliances encompass 2 main categories:

The eleven divisions in which Liebherr is active are:

  • Earthmoving Equipment
  • Mining
  • Mobile Cranes
  • Tower Cranes
  • Concrete Technology
  • Martime Cranes
  • Machine Tools and Automation Systems
  • Aerospace and Transportation Systems
