Sept. 15, 2026, St. John’s, N.L. — Today, CoLab AI Inc. announced a multi-year expansion of its enterprise collaboration with Schaeffler AG, consolidating three previously separate agreements — with Schaeffler, Vitesco Technologies and Ewellix — into a single global contract. CoLab is now the standard design review environment for more than 1700 Schaeffler engineers across North America, Europe and Asia, in a relationship that began with a single pilot team in 2022. “Accelerating product development is one of our highest priorities, and collaboration is where we have the most to gain,” said Rainer Eidloth, senior vice president, engineering digitalization and IT at Schaeffler AG, in a media release. “Our engineers need one place to review a design together and understand the thinking behind it. CoLab provides that extra layer, and it must work across both our current and future engineering environments.” CoLab is extending the capabilities of its PLM integrations to operate with cloud-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, as Schaeffler completes their migration. “Like many of our customers, Schaeffler recognizes that design collaboration is critical to their goal of accelerating product development” said Adam Keating, co-founder and chief executive officer of CoLab, in a press statement. “By giving their engineers and cross functional teams a single place to review designs, Schaeffler is not only speeding up design cycles but also capturing critical design rationale, which can serve as the foundation for AI-driven product development.”
