Together with his father, he founded the iron foundry and mechanical engineering company Schöttler & Co. in Sudenburg in 1846. Friedrich Wilhelm Schöttler took over the management. In 1846 he constructed a steam engine for use in his own factory and produced the technical equipment for sugar factories. In 1847 he built a balancing steam engine for a spirits distillery. A year later he founded a sugar factory in Donnersleben . In 1856 Schöttler sold the company in Sudenburg and founded a steam mill in Magdeburg together with Wilhelm Adolf Drenckmann in 1857 .

In 1859 he became a partner in the machine factory Fr. Seele & Co. in Braunschweig, which was founded by his father and Friedrich Seele . Schöttler now also moved to Braunschweig and took over the technical management of the company. After the transformation into a stock corporation under the name Braunschweigische Maschinenbauanstalt , Schöttler became one of the executive directors. As an engineer, he was particularly responsible for diffusion systems for the sugar industry. His development work has contributed significantly to the company's success in the market.
