In 1886, Robert Bosch founded the "Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering" in Stuttgart. This was the birth of today's globally operating company. Right from the start, it was characterized by innovative strength and social commitment.
Bosch History
The history of Bosch starts with many first steps. The step into independence, onto the automotive market, into markets outside Germany, and onto the factory floor of major manufacturing.
His apprentice and journeyman years awoke an early desire in Robert Bosch to be self-employed. The early years were beset with highs and lows, and it was only from the mid-1890s on that things took off quickly and unstoppably.
