“Come and feel the comfort” was the Vibracoustic motto at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Comfort in the sense of the motto is when vibrations and background noise are eliminated from driving. This is what Vibracoustic aims to do. These phenomena can occur in several places, especially in the engine and chassis where there are moving parts.

Vibracoustic is both the name of a joint venture between Freudenberg & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft, Weinheim, and Phoenix AG, Hamburg, and a brand name. While the joint venture is primarily active in Europe, automotive customers can purchase Vibracoustic anti-vibration products of the same specification and same quality all over the world thanks to cooperation with partners in Japan, Korea, India and Brazil as well as
the sister company Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership (FNGP) in the USA. The figures quoted in this section only refer to Vibracoustic (Europe), the joint venture with Phoenix.

Last year, automobile production in Europe fell by 1 percent. Nevertheless, Vibracoustic sales rose by just over 4 percent to 399 million Euro.
