What Rolamentos Fag Ltda does

Rolamentos Fag Ltda, operating commercially as Schaeffler Brasil Ltda., is the Brazilian subsidiary of Germany's Schaeffler Group and functions as a multi-division industrial technology and automotive components distributor. The entity is headquartered at Av. Independência, 3500-A, Bairro Éden, Sorocaba, São Paulo (CNPJ 57.000.036/0001-92) and serves the South American market under the FAG and INA brand heritage. Its product and service portfolio is organized around four operating divisions: E-Mobility (electric and hybrid vehicle powertrain and chassis components), Powertrain & Chassis (transmission systems for internal combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles), Vehicle Lifetime Solutions (automotive aftermarket spare parts with original equipment quality, supported by the REPXPERT service brand), and Bearings & Industrial Solutions (bearings, plain bearings, linear guidance systems, and direct drive technology). Vertical-specific industrial solutions extend to wind energy, railway, power transmission, offroad (construction and agricultural machinery), industrial automation, raw materials processing, aerospace, and two-wheeled vehicles.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on premium bearing engineering, exemplified by the proprietary X-life product line with extended service life characteristics, complemented by Condition Monitoring systems for predictive maintenance, the Mounting Manager digital tool for installation procedures, Tribology Consulting services, and access to the Schaeffler Global Technology Network of research centers. Go-to-market is executed through a multi-channel structure: a network of certified authorized industrial distributors across Brazil for the Bearings & Industrial Solutions division, the Vehicle Lifetime Solutions aftermarket channel targeting mid-market and independent workshops, a direct corporate sales portal for enterprise customers, and the medias self-serve product catalog. Revenue mechanics consist of one-time hardware sales of components, professional services revenue from training, calculation, and consulting, and aftermarket parts distribution. Marketing is supported through the corporate website, technical blogs, press releases, social media, the Schaeffler Academy training program, and participation in industry events such as Automec 2025. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract structures typical of industrial B2B supply arrangements. The business is wholly owned by the publicly listed Schaeffler Group, providing access to global R&D, manufacturing scale, and capital that local competitors lack.
