Bosch Appliances Company Background

As part of the BSH Group, Bosch is Europes largest manufacturer of household appliances. Producing high-quality, technologically advanced products, Bosch continues to play an active part in the Australian and New Zealand market. Their current product range in Australia includes dishwashers, front loading washing machines and clothes dryers, ovens, microwaves, cooktops, rangehoods, kitchen machines, refrigerators, coffee machines and vacuum cleaners.

BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH is a globally successful company, and a group that constantly optimizes its strategies and processes around the world. The figures prove that they are on the right path: In 2005, sales increased to more than 7.3 billion euros. BSH has thus consolidated its position among the three leading companies in its sector on the international stage; in Germany and Western Europe, they are the unrivaled number 1. Their employees are a crucial factor in this success. In some 40 countries more than 35,500 highly committed employees work for BSH, some 14,000 of these in their home country of Germany.

BSH was founded in 1967 as a joint venture between Robert Bosch GmbH, Stuttgart, and Siemens AG, Berlin and Munich. Since then they have systematically expanded their international presence.

The unrivaled innovation capability of their company strengthens their hand in international competition, because as a leading innovator they are and have been instrumental in helping to shape the development of the global home appliance market. By consistently optimizing our innovation processes they have succeeded in cutting the time from product idea to market launch by a further 25 percent. In the "Best Innovator" competition conducted by business magazine "Wirtschaftswoche" and international business consultants A.T. Kearney, BSH was honored for its outstanding innovation management in 2004, for the second year running. Around the world, more than 1,600 developers work on the design of new products. Here they place a particular priority on continuously optimizing the environmental effects of their appliances. As 95 percent of the environmental impact of home appliances occurs not during production, but in the usage phase, they regard their most important contribution to environmental protection as being the development of resource-conserving products. Here they are enhancing the quality of life, and making their contribution to a better future for us all.

Boschs unique characteristics include German engineering and design, great reliability through a large range of products and stylish designs with good functionality.
