In 1946 Dr. Georg Schaeffler, who founded the company with his brother Wilhelm, demonstrated what it means to think outside the box as early as 1949. At this point, his development of the needle roller and cage assembly-a pioneering innovation-helped the needle roller bearing achieve an industrial breakthrough. Georg Schaeffler's inventive spirit and his will to succeed have become a permanent part of corporate culture in more than 35 plants worldwide.

For decades ,INA brand products are used in the Schaeffler Group's automotive division for applications in engines, transmissions and chassis and in its industrial division.
