By 2035, Schaeffler aims to generate ten percent of its revenue in new sectors. The group's core business—primarily automotive—remains indispensable.

At the 13th Schaeffler Automotive Symposium, the supplier presented its product innovations and technological developments over three days. More than 300 customers gathered for the first time under the motto "Beyond Driving. Innovation made by Schaeffler." at the new Project and Technology Center at the Bühl location.

"The Schaeffler Automotive Symposium traditionally stands for intensive customer dialogue and the experience of innovations and new technologies. As a Motion Technology Company, we are presenting at this event for the first time after the successful integration of Vitesco Technologies our expanded expertise and complementary product portfolio, which combines our strengths in mechanics and mechatronics with new expertise in electronics and sensor technology," said Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler AG.

We also believe in Europe because many of our innovations are developed here.
