Divisions producing construction machinery and mining equipment include earthmoving, mining, mobile cranes, tower cranes and concrete technology. Here, sales revenue fell by \u20ac224 million, or 4.0%, to a total of \u20ac5,400 million. In the other product areas, those covered by the maritime cranes, aerospace and transportation systems, machine tools and automation systems, domestic appliances, components and hotels divisions, turnover remained at \u20ac3,609 million \u2013 the previous year\u2019s level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Net result for the year<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the Liebherr Group achieved a net result for the year of \u20ac298 million, equalling the 2015 result. The financial result improved significantly, thanks in part to the positive effects of exchange rate movements. In contrast, there was a perceptible fall in the operating result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2016 saw a further increase in the workforce. At the end of the year, Liebherr had 42,308 employees worldwide.

As a consequence, the investment rate last year remained at a very high level. Overall, the Group invested \u20ac751 million. Depreciation added up to \u20ac466 million (previous year: \u20ac448 million).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The year 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is anticipated that the coming year will see slight positive growth in the global economy, compared to 2016. The growth trend is expected to increase slightly, both in industrialised countries and in emerging and developing economies.<\/p>\n<p>The Liebherr Group anticipates an increase in turnover this year. The construction machinery and mining segments, as well as other product areas are overall expected to make a positive contribution to turnover. The Liebherr Group will also continue to invest substantially in its international production facilities and in its distribution and service network. The number of people employed in Liebherr companies will again rise slightly.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, 26 April 2017, the Liebherr Group publishes its annual report 2016, which contains, in addition to detailed figures, a magazine section reviewing the past financial year.
