Schaeffler has been moving the world for over seven decades. It all began 75 years ago, when two brothers, Wilhelm and Georg Schaeffler, set up the company Industrie GmbH in Herzogenaurach. This was the “big bang” moment that would ultimately give rise to a leading global automotive and industrial supplier with around 83, 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.
