LuK do Brasil Embreagens Ltda

What LuK do Brasil Embreagens Ltda does

LuK do Brasil Embreagens Ltda is a Brazilian private limited company operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Schaeffler Group (Schaeffler AG), a German automotive and industrial supplier publicly listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The entity retains the LuK brand heritage — originally a German clutch manufacturer founded in 1965 and acquired by Schaeffler in 1999 — and operates within Schaeffler Brasil Ltda. (CNPJ 57.000.036/0001-92). Its headquarters and operations are located at Av. Independência, 3500-A, Bairro Éden, Sorocaba, São Paulo.

The company's product portfolio spans four primary divisions: E-Mobility (components for hybrid and electric vehicles), Powertrain & Chassis (transmission systems and LuK-branded clutch systems), Vehicle Lifetime Solutions (aftermarket spare parts and repair solutions), and Bearings & Industrial Solutions (bearings, linear guidance, and condition monitoring services for industrial applications). Underlying technology includes tribological engineering, powertrain and drivetrain components, linear guidance systems, and predictive maintenance services. The X-life premium bearing line and the REPXPERT training platform serve as differentiators alongside specialized services such as Mounting Manager and condition monitoring.

LuK do Brasil generates revenue through B2B sale of automotive OEM components, aftermarket spare parts distributed through an authorized distributor network, and industrial bearings and services. The company does not publicly disclose pricing or revenue. Go-to-market relies on direct sales, an authorized distributor network across Brazil, content marketing via the Schaeffler Brasil website, participation in industry events such as Automec 2025, and technical training through the Schaeffler Academy. The customer base spans automotive OEMs, aftermarket repair shops, and industrial verticals including wind energy, railway, power transmission, off-road machinery, aerospace, and two-wheeled vehicles. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications underpin the quality and environmental management posture.
