“Innovation is the key to the sustainable development of Schaeffler Group’s business.” Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler Group, said, “China is not only an important market, but also a highland of innovation. In the future, Schaeffler will continue to strengthen its commitment to the Chinese market and customers, and continue to deeply cultivate China.”

“Nine years ago, I came to Jiading Anting for the first time.

Only five years later, I came here again and saw that even more progress has been made.” Klaus Rosenfeld said.
