Bosch

History and Activities of Bosch Company

Bosch is a German corporation that specializes in the development and manufacture of both industrial and household appliances, as well as automotive devices. It is known that the company once also produced telecommunications equipment. Today, Bosch is among the top ten largest international manufacturers of electrical devices, tools, and electronics.

The history of the company began in the German town of Stuttgart in 1886. The founder of the corporation is inventor Robert Bosch, who opened his small workshop called "Workshop of Precision Mechanics and Electrical Devices." At the beginning, Robert served his customers personally, sometimes even visiting them at home on his bicycle. The first products were magnetos for gasoline engines. His perseverance paid off: in 1901, the first Bosch factory was opened, employing 40 workers. Within 5 years, the company produced its hundred-thousandth magneto. In the same year, Bosch also opened factories in other European countries, specializing in electrical equipment for cars. By the start of World War I, Bosch had a turnover of 1 million German marks.

Today, after more than 100 years of operation, Bosch is a vast conglomerate that comprises about 300 enterprises.
