Nizhny Novgorod: A New Plant for the Russian Market
One of the first local customers was
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company, which
manufactures the SuperJet 100 for
airlines in the East and the West.
Liebherr-Aerospace supplies the com-
plete fly-by-wire flight control system
as well as the integrated air manage-
ment system for this regional jet. OOO Liebherr-Aerospace Nizhny
Novgorod has a 3,200 m² production
area. The Liebherr Group has anoth-
er company on its 120 hectare site
in Dzerzhinsk: OOO Liebherr-Nizhny
Novgorod, which is responsible for the
manufacturing and assembly of con-
struction machinery and components. In 2011, the production network of
Liebherr's division Aerospace and
Transportation Systems was enlarged
by a new Russian plant in Dzerzhinsk
close to the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
The company OOO Liebherr-Aero-
space Nizhny Novgorod provides di-
rect access to the Russian aviation
market.
New Test Center in Toulouse Fully Working
Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS,
Liebherr’s center of excellence for
aerospace air management systems,
held the opening ceremony of its new
test and development center on Sep-
tember 23, 2011. The test center was
taken into operation step by step
throughout the year 2011.
Spread over 5,600 m² the new facilities
substantially expand Liebherr’s capabili-
ty of simulating the operating conditions
of its airborne systems, such as engine
temperature and pressure, or acous-
tic environment. It allows full-scale as
well as digital model testing of technol-
ogies related to vibrations, cabin noise
and the concept of the More Electric Air-
craft. These latest generation test facil-
ities significantly contribute to reducing
development cost and optimizing the
performance of future air management
systems.
The test center accounts for a 27 Mil-
lion Euro investment, part of which is
borne by the French Government and
the Region of Midi-Pyrénées. The building’s environmental footprint
was subject to particular attention during
its design and construction phases.
Key parameters such as energy con-
sumption, water consumption and noise
emissions show considerable reductions
compared to previous test facilities.
