Georg Diesch, president of Liebherr Cranes Inc in the USA has been promoted to managing director of Liebherr Hydraulikbagger, in Kirchdorf an der Iller, Germany, after 11 years in job, with Daniel Pitzer replacing him.
The Kirchdorf factory manufactures Liebherr wheeled and crawler excavators and material handling equipment. It was the company’s first facility, set up by Hans Liebherr and the place where he built the first Liebherr tower crane.
Pitzer took over as president at the start of the month, and assumes responsibility for the distribution of Liebherr All Terrain and large crawler cranes in the USA. For the last nine years Pitzer has worked at the Liebherr mobile crane plant in Ehingen, Germany, managing sales to several English speaking countries.
Pitzer said: “I’m looking forward to take over this new role and to work with my team to further strengthen our relationship with our customers in America.”
Diesch added: “I would like to congratulate Daniel on his promotion and am very pleased that we have a very motivated and knowledgeable professional taking over to continue Liebherr’s success in the USA.”
