At the heart of Schaeffler's identity is a culture deeply rooted in pioneering motion. For over 75 years, the company has been a driving force behind groundbreaking inventions and developments in motion technology. This legacy, initiated by the visionary brothers Dr. Wilhelm and Dr.-Ing. E. h. Georg Schaeffler in 1946, continues to shape the company's approach. The Schaeffler Group's mission is to be a reliable partner in making motion more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable across its entire lifecycle.

The Schaeffler Group's culture is also defined by its long-term thinking and responsible action, a testament to its origins as a family business. Sustainability is not just a buzzword but plays a crucial role in the corporate strategy, as evidenced by the 'Roadmap 2025'.

The integration of three historically successful brands – INA, LuK, and FAG – has created a global technology leader with the DNA of a family enterprise, fostering a strong team spirit and a family-like relationship among its workforce. Schaeffler is dedicated to creating sustainable value, not only through its innovative products and solutions for customers in electromobility and renewable energy but also by prioritizing social responsibility, including the continuous improvement of occupational health and safety.
