At home in Emsland since 1969.
At work below ground worldwide.
LIBA – Lingener Baumaschinen is an owner-managed family business from Lingen (Ems), now in its third generation of family leadership. We design and manufacture trench cutters deployed in over 60 countries for fibre optic, energy, utility and civil engineering projects.
One idea.
One workbench.
Five decades of engineering.
What began in 1969 as a repair and engineering workshop in Lingen has grown into one of Europe's most specialised trench-cutter manufacturers.
Today LIBA carries out design, welding, hydraulic integration and final assembly entirely in-house — under one roof, now led by the third generation of the founding family. Our machines are not consumer goods. They are working tools capable of decades of deployment — and that is the standard applied to every weld, every hose and every bearing that leaves our factory.

Four principles.
One brand.
What makes our machines stand out cannot be read from datasheets alone. It is an attitude — precise, robust, reliable.
Robustness
Built for a lifetime. Every frame from the LIBA factory holds up for decades under real construction conditions.
Precision
Reproducible trench geometry — the difference between progress and improvisation.
Innovation
New tooling configurations, new carrier concepts — we develop what tomorrow's routes will demand.
Reliability
Direct factory contact, spare parts from our own stock, personal points of contact — no call-centre chain.
Lingen (Ems) — where we build the machines that open the ground elsewhere.
The people
behind the machine.
Engineers, fitters, sales specialists — three generations at the same site in Lingen. A team that makes every trench a little better. And if you want to build trench cutters yourself: we welcome your open application.
