BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH |
BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH is a corporate group operating worldwide, which posted annual sales of about 9 billion EUR in the year 2010. It stemmed from a joint venture set up in 1967 between Robert Bosch GmbH (Stuttgart) and Siemens AG (Munich). Today, BSH operates 42 factories in 13 countries in Europe, the USA, Latin America and Asia. Together with a global network of sales and customer service firms, the BSH family is today made up of about 70 companies in 46 countries, with a total workforce of nearly 40,000 people.
Within a comprehensive brand portfolio, the main brands are Bosch and Siemens. With its six special brands (Gaggenau, Neff, Thermador, Constructa, Viva and Ufesa), BSH caters for the individual and diverse wishes of consumers in relation to brand names and products. Four regional brands (Balay, Pitsos, Profilo and Coldex) ensure a fine image and broad presence in their respective homemarkets. The product range encompasses large and small home appliances, floorcare and hot water appliances.
The company’s actions and development are determined by a consistent policy of innovation and quality. One of BSH’s most important principles is its determination to provide the consumer with genuine added value in terms of performance, convenience and user-friendliness by offering new products and developing existing ones. Underlying this is the conviction that driving forward new technologies not only generates a competitive edge and provides greater convenience for customers – but also benefits the environment. The transfer of know-how within the BSH Group serves to set global standards on the environmental protection front too. BSH is committed to the principle of sustainability, and thus to the responsible handling of resources.
BSH is the largest manufacturer of home appliances in Germany and Western Europe, and one of the leading companies in the sector worldwide.
