We pioneer motion to advance how the world moves
‘We’ represents our identity as a ‘One Schaeffler’ company with three divisions. It encompasses our employees and business partners as the cornerstone of our success, united under a strong umbrella brand, and refers to the partnership-based cooperation with our customers and external R&D initiatives. Only together can we shape progress in motion and mobility.
‘Pioneer’ represents our outstanding history of innovation, starting with the invention of the cage-guided needle bearing. This inventive spirit still characterises the Schaeffler Group today. In view of the major future trends, it also embodies our claim to continue to be a pioneer in shaping the future of motion and mobility.
‘Motion’ represents our positioning as an integrated automotive and industrial supplier. Our new claim goes beyond our previous claim ‘Mobility for tomorrow’, which was strongly tailored to our automotive business. The term ‘motion’ explicitly encompasses both our industrial and automotive businesses and thus forms the foundation for our sectors defined across all divisions. These sectors enable us to address our customers more effectively and offer them a comprehensive range of products and services relating to motion and mobility.
