Schaeffler expands plant to supply new technology

Schaeffler Group's expansion of its Wooster, Ohio, transmission plant is a small-ticket project compared with some of the German company's recent U.S. market developments — only $2.5 million. And the necessary hiring for what Schaeffler plans to do there is relatively modest — just 300 additional people for a plant that, with 2,000 workers today, is the town's largest employer.
