Schaeffler st rkt US-Standort Wooster
Schaeffler Gruppe investiert rund 60 Millionen Dollar
Standort Wooster als US-Zentrum f r E-Mobilit t von Schaeffler
40-j hriges Jubil um
Die Schaeffler Gruppe hat in Wooster im US-Bundesstaat Ohio die Erweiterung ihres Standortes gefeiert. Rund 60 Millionen Dollar, umgerechnet mehr als 51 Millionen Euro, investierte der Automobil- und Industriezulieferer in die Schaffung neuer Produktionsfl chen, eines Versandzentrums sowie B ror umen. Am Standort Wooster sind nun knapp 2.000 Mitarbeiter besch ftigt.
Auf den insgesamt rund 8.900 Quadratmetern Erweiterungsfl che produziert Schaeffler ab dem Jahr 2018 unter anderem Hybridmodule f r einen gro en amerikanischen Automobilhersteller. Dar ber hinaus arbeiten die Mitarbeiter des Standorts bereits an der k nftigen Produktion der E-Achse. Dazu sagte Klaus Rosenfeld, Vorsitzender des Vorstands der Schaeffler AG: Unsere Investition in Wooster ist ein weiterer Meilenstein in der Umsetzung unserer Strategie Mobilit t f r morgen . Wooster wird zu unserem Zentrum f r die weitere Entwicklung der Elektromobilit t in den USA. Mit Innovationen sowie unseren sehr gut ausgebildeten und st ndig weiter gef rderten Mitarbeitern werden wir einen wichtigen Beitrag zu k nftigen Mobilit tsl sungen leisten. Diese neue, hochmoderne Produktionsst tte ist auch ein Beleg f r unser Engagement, die besten und vielversprechendsten Talente f r uns zu gewinnen und an unser Unternehmen zu binden.
Positive Entwicklung auf dem US-Markt
Die Investition von 60 Millionen Dollar in den Standort Wooster st rkt das Automobilgesch ft der Schaeffler Gruppe in den USA weiter. Erst k rzlich wurden mehr als 36,5 Millionen Dollar in die Erweiterung des Werkes in Fort Mill (US-Bundesstaat South Carolina) investiert. Seit dem Jahr 2007 hat sich unser Gesch ft im Automotive-Bereich besser entwickelt als der Markt und dabei fast verdoppelt. Mit den zus tzlichen Kapazit ten im Werk Wooster k nnen wir neben der Produktion der Hybridmodule weiterhin der gro en Nachfrage nach Komponenten f r Automatikgetriebe, Drehmomentwandler und Wandler berbr ckungskupplungen gerecht werden. Mit der Erweiterung sind wir auch auf die Produktion k nftiger elektrifizierter Antriebskonzepte bestens vorbereitet , sagte Marc McGrath, Leiter des Gesch ftsbereiches Automotive Americas.
Seit 40 Jahren w chst Schaeffler in Wooster
In den vergangenen 40 Jahren, in den Schaeffler in Ohio t tig ist, hat sich der Standort deutlich vergr ert und ver ndert. Alles begann mit einem kleinen Team von nur sechs Mitarbeitern, die Kupplungen montierten. Heute ist Schaeffler in Wooster mit ann hernd 2.000 hochqualifizierten Mitarbeitern der gr te Arbeitgeber der Stadt im Nordosten Ohios.
