Scheer GmbH

We're a global technology company that's been at the forefront of motion technology for over 75 years, founded by brothers Dr. Wilhelm and Dr.-Ing. E.h. Georg Schaeffler in 1946. What started as a vision in Herzogenaurach has grown into a worldwide team of around 82,800 people, all working to make mobility more efficient, sustainable, and innovative. We partner with major automobile manufacturers and serve aerospace and industrial sectors, developing precision products that keep the world moving. Our work spans across automotive technologies - powertrain, chassis, e-mobility, and vehicle lifetime solutions - as well as industrial bearing solutions and robotics. The recent merger with Vitesco in October 2024 marks an exciting chapter as we become an even stronger motion technology company. Beyond the technical work, we invest heavily in our people through the Schaeffler Academy, offer flexible working arrangements, and maintain the culture of a family-owned business while operating on a global scale.
