Schaeffler showcases expanded lineup in its return to Manila Auto Salon 2026

MANILA: Schaeffler returns to Manila Auto Salon for the second consecutive year with an expanded lineup as part of commitment to supporting the Philippine automotive aftermarket.

This time around, the firm showcased its portfolio that covers passenger cars and commercial vehicles, while adding products that will benefit  agricultural machinery, and motorcycle owners.

In a statement, the firm said that the latest initiative—which carried the theme “Sustaining Motion. Pioneering Future.”—brings together repair products, original equipment (OE) expertise, technical knowledge, and service support to address the needs of growing motoring public.

“We are pleased to return to Manila Auto Salon for the second consecutive year and continue engaging with our customers and partners in the Philippines. Through Vehicle Lifetime Solutions, Schaeffler offers a comprehensive portfolio of repair solutions backed by original equipment expertise,” Schaeffler Philippines Country Manager Jay Durante was quoted as saying.

“Our increased focus on two-wheelers reflects our commitment to one of the country’s most important mobility sectors, while we continue to serve the diverse needs of the wider Philippine aftermarket,” he added.

Aside from having its diverse lineup and OE expertise, Schaeffler Philippines also provides technical support and hands-on training. This move, the company believed, helps distributors and workshops to keep pace with changing customer and market requirements.

“The Philippine aftermarket offers strong growth opportunities across vehicle segments, particularly in the rapidly evolving two-wheeler sector. Our role extends beyond supplying products: we support distributors and workshops with technical expertise, training, and long-term collaboration.

As we expand our portfolio, including our two-wheeler offering, we aim to help partners strengthen their capabilities and deliver greater value to vehicle owners across the country,” Vehicle Lifetime Solutions Vice President for Japan and Southeast Asia Chatchawan Somjeen said.

Relatedly, Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions is undergoing brand transition. Under the this move, Schaeffler will become the leading product brand across the aftermarket portfolio. LuK, INA, and FAG will remain visible throughout the transition, which will be conducted in phases starting with FAG in the second quarter of 2027.
