ments of the various car manufacturing
plants in all these countries.
These consultancy and technical ser-
vices provide customers with special
business benefits; since cooperation
with SCHERDEL experts at a relatively
early stage of development often helps
to shorten development cycles and re-
duce costs.
China, Russia and India are the
largest emerging automotive markets.
The service centres are also expected
to quantify the potential for sales and
possibly find suitable options to estab-
lish a SCHERDEL manufacturing loca-
tion in the respective region. These are
key prerequisites for the strategic de-
velopment of a new sales market.
Generally speaking, all SCHERDEL
customers are provided with sustain-
able benefits through the combined
skills and expertise in the service cen-
tres, which is available as free advice
and guidance for product development.
SCHERDEL sees this as an essential
characteristic of successful develop-
ment partnerships.
SCHERDEL lives up to its motto
“Global thinking – Local action”.

Tech Day at AUDI
Thanks to its cutting-edge ideas
in the field of comfort and light-
weight construction, SCHERDEL
recently had the opportunity to
present itself as an innovative de-
velopment partner during a Tech
Day at AUDI in Ingolstadt.
SCHERDEL development and
sales experts presented standard
products, prototypes and concept
studies for product innovations at
the development centre in
Gaimersheim.
The high level of participation of
AUDI technicians and developers
as well as renowned engineering
firms that work for AUDI, such as
PSW, Bertrandt and BFFT, led to
an unexpected number of new
project concepts. SCHERDEL
wishes to thank the AUDI em-
ployees and organizers from the
seat development and occupant
sensor systems divisions in
Gaimersheim for a successful
event. The SCHERDEL
Group
looks forward to putting its skills
to the test in future AUDI pro-
jects.
