Partnering for the Future

Tyrolit and Schaeffler set milestone
Tyrolit has taken another decisive step forward in this direction with a long-standing strategic partner: Schaeffler. Together, we’ve signed a binding sustainability target agreement that focuses on key ESG areas.

Sustainability is not a trend – it’s a commitment.

Focusing on ESG areas such as energy efficiency, CO₂ reduction, product carbon footprints, and packaging optimisation is an important step for both companies.

Key measures include:

  • Targeted CO₂ reductions at our Schwaz plant for Schaeffler-related production

  • Development of Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) for core product families

  • Introduction of sustainable packaging with 65% less plastic in our wrapping film

  • Use of the "gryn" digital platform to increase transparency in our Scope 3 transport emissions

This partnership is more than just a contract – it demonstrates how ecological responsibility and business success go hand in hand. It ensures long-term cooperation with a globally relevant customer and underlines our role as a future-focused supplier.

We also thank all our colleagues worldwide. Through your daily dedication, we continue to make sustainability an integral part of what Tyrolit stands for.

Tyrolit honoured with Schaeffler Supplier Award 2025

At the Schaeffler Supplier Day 2025 in Herzogenaurach, Tyrolit received a Schaeffler Supplier Award in the “Values” category. The award ceremony, which brought together over 320 guests, was the first after Schaeffler’s merger with Vitesco Technologies and reflected the growing importance of close, strategic supplier partnerships.

Georg F. W. Schaeffler and COO Andreas Schick emphasised the theme “United in Motion” – a vision for collaborative innovation and resilient, localised supply chains.

We’re proud to be part of this movement.
Let’s keep driving change – together.
