You may be surprised to know that The "Bosch Group" has been in successful operations for almost 120 years and is the world leader in many different fields. You may also be surprised to know that the first of our many inventions was the spark plug combined with a high-tension magneto ignition system. You may even be surprised to know that we manufacture products at 227 locations on every continent, 171 of which are situated outside Germany.

But you shouldn't be surprised. That's because our dedication to innovation, research and development, and German standards of quality, while being fully committed to society and the environment, has never wavered nor ceased. So from our first day of operations in 1886, we've been providing the revolutionary technological advances that have helped us get to where we are today, from the world's first spark plug in 1902, to the invention of the first multi-functional electric tool in 1952, to the birth of the world's first swivel-arm industrial robot in 1976, and to the first electrohydraulic brake in the world in 2001.

Some of our products you may know very well. Others you may never see, but they all touch our lives in more ways than you can imagine.

We invite you to enter the world of Bosch and to never be surprised by our capabilities again...
