The Schaeffler Group has expanded its capacities in R&D and the application of coating technology by investing in the expansion of its Surface Technology Competence Center at the Herzogenaurach headquarters. With its new coating and R&D facilities, Schaeffler has created the prerequisites for further growth. In future, more capacity at a central location within the company will be available for the development of customized solutions. At the same time, Schaeffler is also expanding its volume production capacities in order to be able to rapidly meet the rising demand for high-quality coated components.
