The current issue of SEALING WORLD focuses on Corteco, the aftermarket specialist of Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST). The expansion of the service business, such as that operated by Corteco, is one of the core topics of FST’s current strategy period.
Corteco has grown strongly in recent years and will continue to develop in the future. A new warehouse in Turkey, a new sales office in Serbia, additional employees in South East Asia, the ground-breaking ceremony for a new warehouse in Weinheim – these are all visible signs of the company’s growth. In SEALING WORLD, Corteco CEO Dr. Christian Dickopf outlines the spare parts specialist’s two-brand strategy, among other things.
FST has had a new CFO since April 1. Kerstin Borrs has taken over the baton from Ludger Neuwinger-Heimes as CFO. In this interview, she gives us an insight into what she wants to focus on.
As always in June, you can find out who the winning teams of the “We all take care!” competition at FST are. A total of 26 sites submitted 48 projects that make work safer, protect the health of employees and the environment and at the same time reflect the company’s social responsibility. This year, the team from Berlin represented FST in the Freudenberg Group’s overall competition.
I hope you enjoy reading this issue.

Yours, Isolde Grabenauer
