  The event was opened by Schaeffler Group CEO Klaus Rosenfeld, together with Matthias Zink (CEO Powertrain & Chassis) and Thomas Stierle (CEO E-Mobility). Under the guiding motto “Beyond Driving”, the symposium highlighted Schaeffler’s ambition to actively shape the future of mobility through technological innovation and system-level solutions.

Transforming into a Motion Technology Company

  A central theme of the press conference was Schaeffler’s strategic transformation into a leading “Motion Technology Company”. This transformation is driven by global trends such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, and geopolitical as well as economic developments.

  A key milestone in this process was the acquisition of Vitesco Technologies, announced in 2023, which significantly strengthened Schaeffler’s capabilities in electronics and sensor technology and complements its traditional expertise in mechanics and mechatronics. As a result, the company now offers a highly integrated and competitive portfolio across multiple domains.

  While expanding into new growth areas such as humanoid robotics, electric aviation, and defense-related applications, Mr. Rosenfeld emphasized that the automotive sector remains a core pillar of its business and technological foundation. Innovation continues to play a central role, with the company positioning itself as a key contributor to ongoing developments in the European and global mobility landscape.
