$65m expansion of Liebherr-Australia's Para Hills complex creates 180 new jobs Managing director of Liebherr Australia, Greg Graham. WORK on a $65 million expansion of manufacturing firm Liebherr-Australia's Para Hills complex has started. The project is expected to create up to 180 jobs between now and its completion in July 2014. The development includes a new three-storey office, workshops, warehouse, component plant and distribution centre at the company's Dr Willi Liebherr Drive head office. Liebherr-Australia provides equipment and support services to the mining and construction industries. The company's managing director, Greg Graham, said the work would provide a boost to the area and lead to more development. "The majority of our workforce comes from the Salisbury area so more jobs will mean their will be a flow on effects," Mr Graham said. There is already so much growth in the area. The project is part of a global expansion of the Switzerland-based Liebherr Group. Meanwhile, 30 extra jobs will be created at a new KJM food processing plant at Edinburgh Parks due to open next month. KJM managing director Kim McNamara said the national company, which already employed 250 workers in Adelaide, had filled some of the new positions but more jobs would be advertised shortly.
