Page 6 - Schaeffler Brandplaybook

Schaeffler is more than just a company. It is a family that founded the company in 1946, that strengthened it for decades, and that guides it to this very day. With values that bring people together. With an attitude that inspires. And with courage that motivates. The result: Scores of patents, boundless ingenuity and innovative solutions. Schaeffler has made history and transformed itself into a leading global automotive and industrial supplier.
It all began 75 years ago, when two brothers, Wilhelm, and Georg Schaeffler, set up the company Industrie GmbH in Herzogenau- rach. This was the “big bang” moment that would ultimately give rise to a leading global automotive and industrial supplier with over 82,000 employees. In time, three independently successful companies – INA, LuK, and FAG – would come together to create a global technology leader with the DNA of a family business:
The Schaeffler Group.
Always changing, always on the move. Many decades have brought new names and corporate forms, new products and ideas, and new locations and opportunities – to this day. And yet our family company has remained precisely that: a family compa- ny. Its pioneering achievements – whether made in the 1950s or 2020s – are the future of mobility and motion.
