Bosch (Company)
Bosch (Company)
In 1901, Bosch opened its first factory in Stuttgart. In Net income €2.640 billion (2023)[1]
1906, the company produced its 100,000th magneto. In Total assets €108.33 billion (2023)[1]
the same year, Bosch introduced the eight-hour day for
workers. In 1910, the Feuerbach plant was founded Total equity €47.89 billion (2023)[1]
and built close to Stuttgart. In this factory, Bosch Owners Robert Bosch Stiftung (92%)
started to produce generators and headlights "Bosch- Bosch Family (8%)
Light" in 1914. The system had been presented in Number of 429,416 (2023)[1]
1913.[7] employees

The onset of motorization in road traffic meant that the
ETAS
company grew very rapidly after 1900. While Bosch
had a workforce of 45 in 1901, it had grown to more Bosch Rexroth
1920s–1945
After the First World War, Bosch lost most of its international holdings, including its U.S. factories. The
company had to largely rebuild its international activities. This included opening up further South
American and Asian regions. In 1922, for example, Illies & Company established a sales office for Bosch
goods in Calcutta, India. In the years that followed, Bosch concluded contracts in Asia with sales partners
in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and what is now Indonesia, for example, and on the American
continents with partners in Mexico, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador.[7]
In the 1920s, Bosch expanded its product range to include numerous automotive technology products that
were required for cars in everyday use: electric horn (1921), windshield wipers (1926), and direction
indicators ("trafficator", 1927).[7]
In 1927, Bosch launched injection pumps for diesel. Bosch bought the gas appliances production from
Junkers & Co. in 1932, as a part of a diversification strategy. In 1932, the company developed its first
electric drill and presented its first car radio. In 1933, Bosch presented its first electric refrigerator for
private households.[7]
Nazi collaboration
In late 1933 negotiations between Robert Bosch AG and the Nazi Party began on relocating parts of
armaments production to Germany's interior. Bosch founded two such alternative plants in 1935 and
1937: Dreilinden Maschinenbau GmbH in Kleinmachnow near Berlin and Elektro- und Feinmechanische
Industrie GmbH (later Trillke-Werke GmbH) in Hildesheim. Both plants were used exclusively for
armament production. These "shadow factories" were built under great secrecy and in close cooperation
with the Nazi authorities.[8] In 1937, Bosch AG became a limited liability company (GmbH).
The Bosch subsidiary Dreilinden Maschinenbau GmbH (DLMG) in Kleinmachnow employed around
5,000 people, more than half of whom were forced laborers, prisoners of war, and female concentration
camp prisoners, including many women from the Warsaw Uprising.[9] They had to produce accessories
for German Luftwaffe aircraft. In Hildesheim, a secret plant for the entire electrical equipment of tanks,
tractors, and trucks of the Wehrmacht was built. In 1944, 4,290 men and women worked in the Trillke
factory, 2,019 of whom were forced laborers, prisoners of war, and military internees. During the Second
World War, there were at least 3,000 workers at the mechanics division at the Bosch Hildesheim plant,
almost all of them from nearby occupied countries; there were only 200 recorded German workers.[10]
In the last years of the war, no new German tank ever drove without the starter elements from the Bosch
factory in Hildesheim. Bosch also had a monopoly position in the outfitting of German Luftwaffe
aircraft.[11]
During the war, production was further decentralized, Bosch produced in an ever larger number of
factories, and relocated parts of its production to 213 plants in more than 100 locations.
21st century
In 2001, Bosch acquired Mannesmann Rexroth AG, which they later renamed to Bosch Rexroth AG. In
the same year, the company opened a new testing center in Vaitoudden, close to Arjeplog in north
Sweden. A new developing center in Abstatt, Germany followed in 2004.
In 2002, Bosch acquired Philips CSI, which at the time was manufacturing a broad range of professional
communication and security products and systems including CCTV, congress, and public address
systems.[12]
In the 2000s the company developed the electric hydraulic brake, common rail fuel injection with piezo-
injectors, digital car radio with a disc drive, and the cordless screwdriver with a lithium-ion battery in
2003.
Bosch received the Deutsche Zukunftspreis (German Future Prize) from the German president in 2005
and 2008. A new development center was planned in 2008 in Renningen. In 2014, the first departments
moved to the new center, while the remaining departments followed in 2015.
In 2009, Bosch invested about 3.6 billion Euro in development and research. Approximately 3900 patents
are published per year. In addition to increasing energy efficiency by employing renewable energies, the
company plans to invest in new areas such as biomedical engineering.
China is both a market and a manufacturing location for Bosch. In 2012, Bosch had 34,000 employees
and a revenue of 41.7 billion Yuan (about 5 billion Euro) in China.
In January 2021, Volkswagen filed a $1.2 billion class-action against Bosch and Continental AG in the
United States after VW was forced to reduce production due to a lack of automotive microchips.[23][24]
On January 26, 2021, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed that Bosch won on all
claims.[25]
In June 2021, Bosch christened its newly built semiconductor manufacturing plant in which it invested
$1.2 billion, its largest-ever spending on a single project.[27]
in April 2022, Bosch announced it had acquired the Dresden-based MEMS micro speaker producer,
Arioso Systems. The company will form part of Bosch Sensortec GmbH.[29]
In July 2022, Bosch said the company is looking to invest approximately 3 billion euros into its
semiconductor chip production and R&D over the next four years. They will be opening two new
facilities for manufacturing a computer chip development in the cities of Dresden and Reutlingen.
Chairman Stefan Hartung said the company is not interested in building cutting-edge semiconductor
facilities but focuses on 40 and 200-nanometer chips used in the automotive industry.[30]
In September 2023, it was announced Bosch had completed the acquisition of the Roseville-
headquartered silicon carbide (SiC) power device manufacturer, TSI Semiconductors.[31]
In July 2024, Bosch announced the acquisition of Johnson Controls' heating and air conditioning
operations for $8 billion.[32]
Starting in 2008, Bosch supplied approximately 17 million motor control and mixture control devices
containing illegal software to various manufacturers both domestically and globally. With such software,
the automobiles fitted with Bosch's devices emitted more nitrogen oxides than allowed under
regulations.[34][35]
On 1 February 2017, Bosch agreed to pay consumers in the United States $327.5 million as compensation
for its role in devising the software.[36][37] Bosch also provided emissions software for Fiat Chrysler's 3.0
L V6 diesel engine used in 100,000 model year 2014–2016 Grand Cherokee SUVs and Ram Trucks and
agreed to pay affected consumers $27.5 million as part of a broader settlement in January 2019.[38] In
May 2019, Bosch paid another $100 million fine for its connection to the Dieselgate scandal.[34][35]
Operations
The majority of Bosch Group businesses are grouped into the following four business sectors.[39]
Mobility solutions
The Mobility Solutions business sector accounts for 60 percent of
total sales in 2019.[3] Its main areas of activity are injection
technology and powertrain peripherals for internal-combustion
engines, powertrain electrification, steering systems, safety and
driver-assistance systems, infotainment technology as well as
vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication,
repair-shop concepts, and technology and services for the
automotive aftermarket. The Bosch R&D center in Abstatt,
Germany, which is a major site for
Particular strategic priorities for the sector include transforming the development of automotive
the powertrain and expanding the business in the areas of components
electrification, automated driving, new electrical and electronic
architectures for vehicles, accessing adjacent market segments,
and developing additional services.
The new Powertrain Solutions division was formed effective 1 January 2018, in order to develop
powertrain technology products, regardless of the energy source. The new division resulted from the
merger of the former Gasoline Systems and Diesel Systems divisions. It offers products for powertrain
technology, from gasoline and diesel direct injection to electrified powertrains with battery systems and,
in the future, it will offer fuel-cell technologies as well.

Industrial technology
In the 2019 business year, the Industrial Technology business sector generated roughly 10 percent of total
Bosch Group sales.[3] The sector includes the Drive and Control Technology division, whose products
include customized drive, control, and linear motion for factory automation, plant construction and
engineering, and mobile machinery.
The second division, Packaging Technology, provides process and packaging for the pharmaceuticals and
foodstuffs industries. Its range includes stand-alone machines, systems, and services. In the early 2000s,
it was portrayed as the world’s No. 1 company for packaging technology.[40] In 2018, Bosch decided to
look for a new owner for this business. Bosch's in-house provider of assembly systems, Robert Bosch
Manufacturing Solutions GmbH, Stuttgart, remains part of the Bosch Group; up to now, it has been part
of the Packaging Technology division.
In addition, the Bosch Connected Industry business unit, which develops software and carries out
Industry 4.0 projects for internal and external customers, has been part of the Industrial Technology
business sector since the start of 2018.
Consumer goods
The Consumer Goods business sector contributed some 23 percent
of total Bosch Group sales in 2019.[3] Its Power Tools division is a
supplier of power tools, power tool accessories, and measuring
technology. In addition to power tools such as hammer drills,
cordless screwdrivers, and jigsaws, its products also include
gardening equipment such as lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and
high-pressure cleaners. One of the division's focal points is
Bosch e-bike motor, 2015
convenient, high-performance cordless tools, and increasingly also
web-enabled tools and services.
Overlapping with its mobility interests, it provides traction motors for electric bicycles with sophisticated
control systems.
The Consumer Goods business sector also includes BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, which offers a broad range
of modern, energy-efficient, and increasingly connected household appliances. Its products range from
washing machines and tumble dryers through refrigerators and freezers, stoves and ovens, and
dishwashers, to small appliances such as vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and food processors.
The Thermotechnik GmbH Thermotechnology division offers systems for air conditioning, hot water, and
decentralized energy management. It provides heating systems and energy management for residential
buildings, water heaters, and commercial and industrial heating and air-conditioning systems.
The Bosch Global Service Solutions division offers outsourcing for business processes and services,
primarily for customers in the automotive, travel, and logistics industries and in information and
communications technology. Within Bosch, it also provides shared-service functions.

Bosch Healthcare Solutions GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH. The subsidiary
was established in 2015. The business offers products and services in the area of healthcare and medical
technology.[41] In March 2020, Bosch Healthcare Solutions announced that it has developed a diagnostic
tool for detecting the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic in under three
hours. According to Bosch, the test can be performed directly at the point of care, eliminating the need to
transport samples.[42]
The Grow Platform GmbH is the legal entity of Grow and a 100% subsidiary of the Bosch corporation.
Grow is an internal start-up incubator.
Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (Rbvc, also known as Bosch Ventures) is the corporate venture
capital company of the Bosch Group. RBVC invests worldwide in innovative start-up companies. Its
investment activities focus on technology companies working in areas of business of current and future
relevance for Bosch, above all, automation and electrification, energy efficiency, enabling technologies,
and healthcare systems. RBVC also invests in services and business models as well as new materials that
are relevant to the above-mentioned areas of business.[43]
Locations
Through a complex network of over 468 subsidiaries and regional
entities, the company operates in over 60 countries worldwide.
Including sales and service partners, Bosch's global
manufacturing, engineering, and sales network covers nearly
every country in the world. At 125 locations across the globe,
Bosch employs roughly 90,100 associates in research and
development.
Indian operations
Bosch entered India in 1922, when Illies & Company set up a sales office in Calcutta. For three decades,
the company operated in the Indian market only through imports. In 1951, the Motor Industries Company
Ltd. (MICO) was founded, with Bosch instantly buying 49% of its stock. MICO became the sole
distributor and, after the Indian state implemented restrictive import regulations, a factory was set up at
Adugodi, Bangalore in 1953, to manufacture various products with Bosch licensing. From this point
onward, vocational training took place as well, culminating in the creation of a Vocational Centre in 1960.
By 1961, 2,000 people worked at the Bangalore plant, which had already started an export business, and
57.5% of MICO shares had been bought by Bosch. This was followed by increased investments into
MICO plants in India in the late 1960s and early 1970s; a second plant was installed in Nasik in 1969–
1971, and a third in Naganathapura in 1988. In the late 1980s, the second-largest contingent of Bosch
employees outside of Germany was based in India until eventually, in 2008, MICO was renamed Bosch
Limited.[50]
Bosch India has a turnover of over US$3 billion and over 31,000 employees spread across 10 locations
and 7 application development centers. Approximately 84% of Bosch India revenues come from its
automotive business, with the remaining 16% split between its non-automotive businesses that include
packaging, energy and building, power tools, and consumer retail.[51] Bosch also has R&D facilities in
Pune, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, and Bangalore, India. This is Bosch's largest R&D operation outside its
home market of Germany.[52] In September 2014, Bosch announced the launch of a locally developed
eye-irrigation fluid in India. The company's new eye screening and detection system offers a combination
of hardware and software and provides affordable eye care.
Bosch India is listed on the Indian stock exchanges and has a market capitalization of over US$12
billion.[53]
In 2022, Bosch's engineering and software arm Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions
(abbreviated as RBEI), changed its name to Bosch Global Software Technologies.[54]
Joint ventures
BSH Hausgeräte
BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, in which Bosch acquired all shares in 2014, is one of the world's top three
companies in the household appliances industry. In Germany and Western Europe, BSH is the market
leader. It includes the principal brand names Bosch and Siemens, Gaggenau, Balay, Neff, Thermador,
Constructa, Viva and Ufesa brands, and further six regional brands. Bosch household appliances for the
North American market are mainly manufactured at its factory near New Bern, North Carolina.
EM-motive
Daimler AG and Bosch established a 50:50 joint venture (JV) to develop and manufacture electric motors
in 2011. The JV, called EM-motive GmbH, manufactures traction motors for electric, fuel cell and
extended-range vehicles at a facility in Hildesheim, Germany.[55]
In 2019 Bosch acquired the remaining shares and assumed full control of the company.[56]
Purolator filters
Bosch co-owned Purolator Filters in a joint venture with Mann+Hummel until 2013. In 2013 the
Mann+Hummel Group acquired Bosch's stake.[57]
SB LiMotive
In June 2008 Bosch formed SB LiMotive, a 50:50 joint company with Samsung SDI.[58] The company
held a ceremony for a 28.000 m2 lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing plant in September 2009 and it is
scheduled to start production for hybrid vehicles in 2011 and for electric vehicles in 2012. The plant will
generate 1,000 jobs in Ulsan, Korea in addition to the 500 employees in Korea, Germany, and the United
States. SB LiMotive was officially ended in September 2012 with both companies focusing on
automotive batteries alone.
Corporate affairs
Robert Bosch GmbH, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, is unusual in that it is an extremely large,
privately owned corporation that is almost entirely (92%) owned by a charitable foundation. Thus, while
most of the profits are invested back into the corporation to build for the future and sustain growth, nearly
all of the profits distributed to shareholders are devoted to humanitarian causes.
Bosch invests 9% of its revenue on research and development, nearly double the industry average of
4.7%.[63]
Controversies
In March 2022, German engineering firm Bosch faced allegations of violating European Union sanctions
against Russia after Ukrainian authorities reported finding Bosch components in Russian military
vehicles.[64][65]
In April 2024, the Russian government placed Bosch's Russian subsidiary under the temporary
management of a Gazprom entity, citing responses to Western hostilities.[66]
Additionally, reports have surfaced indicating that Bosch, along with other companies, has been selling
appliances intended for the Ukrainian market in Russia.[67]

elsewhere. Especially in the factories far from Stuttgart, such as in Kleinmachnow near
Berlin or in Langenbielau (Bielawa) in Silesia, there were attacks. 'The Russian workers and
