German INA Bearings

INA Innovation

For decades, INA has stood for innovative solutions, professional standards in design and production, and a commitment to meeting customer needs. Breaking free from conventional thinking, overcoming traditional habits, and seeking new paths—these are the essence of our corporate culture, whether it's at the company's inception or today after several decades.

As early as 1946, Dr. Georg Schaeffler and his brother Wilhelm founded Schaeffler Group, and in 1949, they demonstrated the significance of breaking through conventional thinking. At that time, his development of roller and cage components led to a major breakthrough in the industrial application of roller bearings, filling a gap in the field. Dr. Georg Schaeffler's innovative spirit and desire for success have become an enduring corporate culture at INA Group, with operations across 35 factories worldwide.

INA develops and produces rolling bearings, sliding bearings, linear motion products, and automotive engine components worldwide. As a research and development partner, INA collaborates closely with customers from the outset of system development. New solutions for users are born every day, which means over 1,000 new products are launched into the market each year. INA heavily invests in its R&D department, particularly focusing on the establishment of new R&D centers in Germany, Asia, and North America.

INA brand is widely used in the automotive industry, including engines, gearboxes, and chassis, as well as in industrial sectors. INA boasts unparalleled technical advantages in precision product shaping, providing cost-effective solutions to its clients. In the industrial field, four industry management departments lead the market promotion of INA and FAG brands in four sectors: production machinery, power transmission and rail, heavy industry, and consumer products.
