Our company
We invest in the future

 

Our value-adding innovations are “Invented for life” – and they’re unrivalled in quality, performance and reliability for people and the environment. Our mission is to improve the quality of life with Bosch products. State-of-the-art technology and sustainable growth are our cornerstones. At the same time, we fully embrace our social and ecological responsibility. That’s how we make sure we deliver what people need, now and in the future.

When you work at Bosch, you are part of a leading technology and services company. We are represented at nearly 80 locations in Germany and in over 60 countries around the globe. In fiscal 2011, we generated sales of €51.4 billion. Around 112,000 of our approximately 303,200 associates work in Germany.

Because Bosch is a privately held company, we can act with financial independence, plan for the long term and invest in the future. Just one example of how we do that is the fact that we spend around €4 billion each year on research and development. The result: around 4,100 new patents filed annually around the world.
