Schaeffler India, a renowned leader in motion technology, has ramped up its efforts to combat the growing problem of counterfeit products in the market. These products, falsely marked with the trusted Schaeffler brands FAG, INA, and LuK, pose significant risks to safety, product performance, and customer trust. Schaeffler India has made significant strides in this battle by carrying out a series of strategic and coordinated legal activities in collaboration with local law enforcement agencies across key cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata.

The Schaeffler Brand Protection team, working closely with local authorities, conducted several raids that led to the seizure of counterfeit bearings and components. These actions are part of Schaeffler India’s ongoing commitment to safeguarding its customers from the dangers posed by counterfeit products, which can lead to equipment failures, unplanned downtimes, and even safety hazards.

Mr. Harsha Kadam, Managing Director and CEO of Schaeffler India, emphasized the company’s commitment to quality and reliability. He stated, “At Schaeffler, quality and reliability are at the core of everything we do. Counterfeit products not only compromise safety and performance but also erode trust in the industry. We are committed to eliminating counterfeit products from the market by undertaking stringent legal action, conducting awareness campaigns, and empowering customers with the right tools to identify genuine Schaeffler products.”

To help combat counterfeit products, Schaeffler India has introduced several measures to aid in the identification of authentic Schaeffler products. Customers are encouraged to use the Schaeffler OriginCheck app, available for free on both iOS and Android devices, to verify the authenticity of Schaeffler products using a unique identification code and a two-dimensional barcode that appears on the packaging.

Additionally, genuine Schaeffler products feature accurate branding, including the correct logo, font, and laser-marked product details. Customers are advised to purchase Schaeffler products only from authorized distributors to ensure the authenticity of the products.

The consequences of counterfeit products go beyond mere financial loss. Counterfeit components can lead to unplanned downtimes, increased maintenance costs, and supply chain inefficiencies, which are detrimental to both businesses and the economy. Schaeffler’s efforts to tackle counterfeiting are not just about protecting their own brand but also about safeguarding their customers and the industry at large from the adverse impacts of these substandard products.

Schaeffler India’s ongoing enforcement efforts, in conjunction with local authorities, are crucial in eliminating counterfeit products from the market and reinforcing the importance of using high-quality, genuine Schaeffler solutions. The company remains committed to ensuring the integrity of its products and preserving the trust that customers have placed in Schaeffler.
