Date: 17 Nov 2025
Schaeffler
India, a leading motion technology company, has intensified its efforts to
eliminate counterfeit products from the market, safeguarding customers and the
industry from substandard and potentially harmful fake bearings and components.
In collaboration with local authorities, Schaeffler Brand Protection team
conducted major enforcement operations with active assistance of local authorities
on 4th and 7th November, 2025.
Counterfeit
products pose serious risks to operational safety, product performance, and
customer trust. To combat this menace, Schaeffler has reinforced its vigilance
and enforcement mechanisms, working closely with law enforcement agencies to
track and dismantle unauthorized supply chains dealing in fake Schaeffler
products.
The
coordinated raid targeted five locations — three wholesale outlets supplying
across India, in the Kashmiri Gate area, along with two other locations of a
supplier having storage units in Priyadarshani Vihar and Old Gupta Colony,
Delhi. The team seized thousands of counterfeit FAG wheel bearings and other
FAG ball bearings along with fake packaging materials. The enforcement team,
comprising police officials and representatives from Schaeffler, effectively
identified the counterfeit materials.
Schaeffler
India urges customers and partners to remain vigilant and check for

including the correct logo, font, and laser-marked product details.
3.

from trusted sources which are the Schaeffler-authorized distributors to ensure
the authenticity of the products.
