Schaeffler is expanding its global development activities for advanced mobility solutions. As part of this, the company has now opened a new state-of-the-art development center at its location in Kysuce, Slovakia. The center develops products and components for electromobility as well as chassis systems for applications such as automated driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The global automotive and industrial supplier is also expanding its existing testing facility in Kysuce by adding new laboratory and testing equipment and test stations.

\u201cThe ability to innovate has never been more critical to our company\u2019s success,\u201d said Matthias Zink, CEO Automotive Technologies at Schaeffler AG. \u201cAs a future-oriented technology company, Schaeffler is therefore investing heavily in research and development \u2013 in Kysuce and worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
