Based in Thema, eastern Germany, the company was established in 1991 and is owned today by the second generation family member, Mario Henneberger, who said: "The manoeuvrability and travel characteristics of the LTC are excellent and Liebherr has further improved the crane in many details, for example the assembly jib with roller set and hook traverse. While various camera systems make the operator's work easier and more pleasant."

"We have aligned ourselves with one manufacturer. With Liebherr, we appreciate the uniform crane control, from small to large cranes. This allows us to make optimum use of our driving personnel in times of shortage of skilled workers and also to easily bridge downtimes due to vacation or illness. Liebherr's service is also exemplary, solving problems quickly and thus significantly reducing downtime. VarioBase is the most ingenious invention ever. We need it every day. It allows us to use our cranes much more flexibly and do jobs that would otherwise not be possible."
