As technology advances, Schaeffler KG continually rolls with the punches -- or at least continually devises ways to keep things rolling along. Schaeffler KG is the largest company in the Schaeffler Group which founded in 1946. It manufactures a vast array of bearings: cylindrical and plain roller bearings, linear systems, needle roller bearings, to name a few. The bearings are used in the aerospace, automotive, machine tool, and semiconductor industries. Its three main brands are INA, FAG, and LuK; though separate, the brands work collaboratively on specific product development. The company is owned by Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler, the widow of a co-founder, and her son, Georg F. W. Schaeffler.
