The Schaeffler Group ranks 30th among the large German companies.
The company is characterized by the personal commitment of Mrs. Schaeffler and her son
Not being listed on the stock exchange has numerous advantages:

Social responsibility, not shareholder value

worldwide: worldwide: approx. 7,2 bn over 100 sales locations
The Schaeffler Group is a global company.
78 plants and over 100 distribution centers in 30 countries
They each have a different focus
INA: Europe and North America
FAG: Europe and Asia
LuK: Europe and North America
Future growth regions will be in Asia, Eastern Europe and North and South America
In Western Europe, stagnation is to be expected. Currently, new plants are under construction in Romania and China, and a Tech Center is being built in Korea
2004 was a very difficult year. For the most part, the economy was not favorable, and customer demands for lower prices in the rolling bearing and automotive industries remains at a high level. In addition, the rolling bearing market is characterized by structural changes. See INA-FAG, Timken-Torrington mergers and others.
And yet, we were able to achieve the previous year‘s sales.
This means that our development has been better than general market trends.

(Dr. Reik, LuK, is responsible for the combined advance development efforts.)
As of January 1, 2004, INA and FAG have a combined Automotive Sales division (managed by Erwin Hofmann.)
LuK Sales and LuK Aftermarket remain independent due to the nature of their business
Product lines for shared products supply all engineering groups with cost-effective products.
As you know, suppliers are under enormous margin pressure. A major challenge in the automotive business is to prevent unfavorable conditions from being applied to all other divisions.

24. Ensuring the Future through high investments in Research & Development
Worldwide 3,500 employees at 30 locations
more than 550 patents annually
1,000 new products annually
Think global, act local – this motto accurately represents current trends in the supplier industry. On the global markets, we are expected to be qualified local development partners, and that’s why we have tech centers in Germany, the United States and Korea. We are also planning additional capacities in Japan and China.
In research and development, there is a clear trend towards component suppliers and other technical solutions.
This leads to a global strategy of disseminating standardized manufacturing methods worldwide and to the setup of technology centers having consolidated expertise in order to achieve the highest level of effectiveness and customer service possible.
High investments made for: state-of-the-art simulation methods, labs for materials technology and testing facilities
Promotion from science and research: FAG Innovation Award, LuK colloquium
The Schaeffler Group

25. Quality Has the Highest Priority
Goal: Zero defects
Quality is a requirement at our company and the basis for our work.
The result is the high quality of our products and services - and the trust
that our customers, employees and suppliers place in us.
Numerous awards from customers and quality management certificates to
top international standards (ISO/TS 16949:2002) confirm our quality achievements.
Quality
“Zero-defect quality” is a company goal that is embraced accordingly
This goal is all the more important since OEMs increasingly demand recourse from their suppliers
Consistent quality management in all phases, from development to manufacturing, guarantees the highest level of product reliability possible.
Comprehensive information on the Intranet and Internet
High quality standards are checked and closely monitored during regular audits in all company divisions.
Important customer awards confirm our quality achievements: To provide just one example, in 2001, INA was supplier of the year at GM, the largest automobile manufacturer in the world! Other examples: - Bosch Supplier Award 2001/2002 (08/2003) for INA Germany - Honda Supplier Award (03/2003) for LuK - Toyota Quality Award (05/2003) for INA - GM “Supplier of the Year“ (06/2003) for INA USA - Quality Assurance Authorization award from Mazda (7/2003) for INA Japan - Factory of the Year 2001 for FAG Aircraft
Quality is embraced worldwide in all processes
Zero defects is more important than ever, and consistent quality awareness and defect prevention ensure “zero-defect quality”
The Schaeffler Group

26. Environmental Protection – A Defined Company Goal
Environmental protection and sustained ecological economizing go without saying at the Schaeffler Group and are defined company goals.
All manufacturing locations have been certified per ISO 14001, and many have been validated per the more stringent Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).
Many non-European manufacturing locations are validated along the lines of this regulation.
Environmental Protection
Is a company goal, and the strict environmental standards in Europe have been implemented at all locations worldwide
All of the company’s large manufacturing locations are certified per ISO 14001, and many are also validated as per the more stringent EC environmental management and audit scheme (EMAS). Locations having less stringent local regulations as in the U.S., Brazil and China are inspected along the lines of EMAS regulations.
The Environmental Protection Manual and Environmental Statements are available on the Intranet and Internet
The INA Group has received the “World Excellence Award” from the Ford Motor Company on several occasions for its outstanding achievements in environmental protection

The positions range from trial training programs for high school students to technical/business training to study programs combining theoretical and practical aspects such as the ASINA program (training and study at INA) and cooperative education
Large number of awards for excellent program completion by apprentices
Exemplary fringe benefits, e.g. private pension plan (capital formation), deferred compensation, MESINA fund)
Future oriented qualification and further development
A large number of opportunities in a large alliance of companies through joint recruiting activities
Low employee turnover and high identification
Good working climate: feeling of togetherness and optimism
