Schaeffler India Strengthens Anti-Counterfeit Measures (Press Release) | V3Cars

Here’s what Schaeffler India have to say about the anti-counterfeit initiative:

Schaeffler India, a leading motion technology company, has intensified its efforts to eliminate counterfeit products from the market, safeguarding customers and the industry from substandard and potentially harmful fake bearings and components. In collaboration with local authorities, Schaeffler Brand Protection team conducted major enforcement operations with active assistance of local authorities on 4th and 7th November, 2025.

Counterfeit products pose serious risks to operational safety, product performance, and customer trust. To combat this menace, Schaeffler has reinforced its vigilance and enforcement mechanisms, working closely with law enforcement agencies to track and dismantle unauthorized supply chains dealing in fake Schaeffler products.

The coordinated raid targeted five locations — three wholesale outlets supplying across India, in the Kashmiri Gate area, along with two other locations of a supplier having storage units in Priyadarshani Vihar and Old Gupta Colony, Delhi. The team seized thousands of counterfeit FAG wheel bearings and other FAG ball bearings along with fake packaging materials. The enforcement team, comprising police officials and representatives from Schaeffler, effectively identified the counterfeit materials.

Schaeffler India urges customers and partners to remain vigilant and check for authenticity before purchasing. Here are key measures to identify a genuine Schaeffler product:

1. Unique Labelling & Code Verification – Schaeffler products feature a unique  identification code and a two-dimensional barcode on the packaging. Customers can verify authenticity using the Schaeffler OriginCheck App.
2. Branding Details – Genuine Schaeffler products come with precise branding, including the correct logo, font, and laser-marked product details.
3. Authorized Distribution Channels – Customers are encouraged to purchase only from trusted sources which are the Schaeffler-authorized distributors to ensure the authenticity of the products.
