LuK is a German brand specializing in clutches, dual-mass flywheels (DMF), clutch hydraulics, and other transmission components for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and agricultural machinery. Founded in 1965 by Georg Schaeffler in Bühl, Germany, LuK quickly established itself as a major player in the automotive industry. The name LuK stands for “Lamellen- und Kupplungsbau” (manufacture of clutch discs and clutches), highlighting its focus on clutch discs and clutch systems.

One of the most important milestones in LuK’s history was the introduction of the dual-mass flywheel in 1985 — an innovative solution that reduces engine vibrations transmitted to the gearbox, providing a smoother and more comfortable driving experience. Today, more than one in four cars worldwide is equipped with a LuK clutch.

As part of the Schaeffler Group, LuK benefits from advanced technologies and a strong international presence. The company goes beyond traditional clutch systems, also investing in the mobility of the future, including electrification of powertrains with modular hybrid clutches and intelligent gearbox components. Moreover, LuK actively contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions by developing lightweight and efficient systems. The aftermarket is supported by the RepXpert brand and various online learning platforms that help fitters and technicians stay up to date.

LuK combines decades of experience with a forward-looking vision, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative partner in the automotive industry.
