Robert Bosch GmbH is one of the world's top manufacturers of automobile components, including antilock braking systems, diesel and gasoline fuel-injection systems, starters, alternators, and auto electronics. The company also produces industrial machinery and hand tools, plus owns 50% of Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte, the European appliance maker. Bosch's Blaupunkt unit is a main manufacturer of vehicle audio equipment. The subsidiary Bosch Rexroth produces hydraulic, electric, and pneumatic machinery for applications ranging from automotive to mining.

The headquarters of Bosch is in Gerlingen, near Stuttgart. Franz Fehrenbach became CEO on July 1, 2003.

The top competitors of Robert Bosch GmbH are: Delphi Corporation, DENSO Corporation, Siemens Automotive AG., and Continental AG.



Bosch is a leading global supplier of automotive and industrial technology and of consumer goods and building technology. The Bosch Group comprises some 280 subsidiary companies. The objectives of the Bosch Group's activity are sustained profitable growth and the safeguarding of its independence which allows it to pursue long-term strategies. In 2005, worldwide sales of the Bosch Group came to 41.5 billion euros (reported as $49,102,300,000) , with about $8 billion in US sales.

In 2004, Robert Bosch GmbH was 17th on the list of "Top 20 Patent Winners" in the United States, with 907 new patents. This was an improvement from 20th (758 patents) in 2003, and 23rd (683 patents) in 2002.

Ownership Robert Bosch GmbH, including its wholly owned subsidiaries such as Robert Bosch LLC in North America, is unusual in that it is an extremely large, privately owned corporation that is almost entirely (92%) owned by a charitable foundation. Thus while most of the profits are plowed back into the corporation to build for the future and sustain growth, nearly all of the profits distributed to shareholders are devoted to humanitarian causes.



As shown in the diagram (above), the Robert Bosch Stiftung ("Robert Bosch Foundation") holds 92% of the shares ("Beteiligung") of Robert Bosch GmbH, but no voting rights ("Stimmrecht"). The Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG ("Robert Bosch Industrial Trust company Kommanditgesellschaft"), with old members of the company management, agents of the Bosch family and other eminent people from the industry (such as Jürgen Hambrecht, CEO of BASF), have 93% of the votes ("Stimmen"), but no shares ("0.01"). The remaining 8% of shares and 7% of voting-rights are held by the descendants of the company founder Robert Bosch (Familie Bosch).

For example, in 2004 the net profit was $2.1 billion. But only $78 million was distributed as dividends to shareholders. Of that figure, $72 million was distributed to the charitable foundation and the other $6 million to Bosch family stockholders. The remaining 96 percent of the profits were pumped back into the company. In its core automotive technology business, Bosch invests 9 percent of its revenue on research and development, nearly double the industry average of 4.7 percent.

Automotive Technology About 50 percent of Bosch's worldwide annual sales are produced in automotive technology. Bosch invented the magneto, a predecessor of the alternator, which sparked most of the earliest internal combustion engines. Bosch also invented the anti-lock braking system (ABS), and as time passed, Bosch became a leader in such specialized fields as traction control systems (TCS), the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), body electronics (such as central locking, doors, windows and seats), and oxygen sensors, injectors and fuel pumps. Even in such humble technological areas as spark plugs, wiper blades, engine cooling Fan (mechanical)s and other aftermarket, Bosch has over $1 billion in annual sales.
