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 requirements. Breaking free from restrictive thinking patterns, overcoming traditional habits, and seeking new paths have been one of the core elements of our corporate culture, whether from 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 needle roller and cage components led to a major breakthrough in the industrial application of needle roller bearings, filling a gap in the field. Dr. Georg Schaeffler's innovative spirit and desire for success are an enduring part of INA's corporate culture across 35 global factories.

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 clients from the very beginning of the system development phase. New solutions for users are born every day, which also means more than 1,000 new products are launched into the market annually. INA heavily invests in its R&D department, with a particular focus 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, offering cost-effective solutions to customers. In the industrial sector, four industry management departments lead the market promotion of INA and FAG brands in the fields of production machinery, power transmission and rail, heavy industry, and consumer products.
