Every year the company has developed and improved. Therefore, already in 1914, this company became one of the most successful in the household appliances market.

Robert Bosch

In the same year, the manufacturer created the first washing machine of its brand. Then only the richest residents used such devices, so the first copy was used only in production.

In 1967, Bosch and Siemens merged, which became a kind of impetus for even greater development of the enterprise. So, in 1972, buyers saw the brand's first washing machine on the shelves.

Today, the production where the units of this company are assembled is located not only in Germany, but also in many other countries around the world. In Russia, there are two factories that assemble machines from Bosch, in Engels and Samara.

The great popularity of this company is due to its huge positive experience in the home appliance market. Over 45 years of experience over washing machines guarantee excellent build quality and reliability. Therefore, the German concern year after year occupies a leading position in the world rankings of these devices.

Over the years, the company has developed the unique VarioSoft drums to accommodate more items.Also a useful development was the Fuzzy Control system, thanks to which the user gets the opportunity to constantly monitor the water consumption and the amount of electricity consumed.
