Schaeffler launches FAG brand bearings and seals program

Schaeffler Group USA Inc. has launched a full line of premium bearings and seals through its FAG brand for the North American aftermarket.

In a news conference during the 2014 Automotive Aftermarket Product Expo in Las Vegas last week, Schaeffler said the bearing and seals program program is focused on passenger cars and light trucks.

New to North America, the program has more than 3,500 SKUs providing over 95% coverage of product categories from the 1980s to today.

Jens Schueler, president Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket North America, says the company is an ideal strategic partner for the automotive aftermarket due to its:

* global manufacturing and distribution facilities;

* comprehensive in-vehicle presence through the LuK, INA and FAG product lines; and

* research and development teams.

The premium bearings and seals program is available in the United States and Canada. For more information, contact a Schaeffler account representative. For more information on the Schaeffler Group, visit www.luk-us.com.
