Bosch Further Expands Activities in Hungary

Construction of the 23,000 square meter building took one year. The new building belongs to the Hungarian subsidiary Robert Bosch Energy and Body Systems Kft., which manufactures automotive technology such as wiper systems, air-conditioning components, starters, and alternators in Miskolc.

By 2014, it is expected that the workforce at Robert Bosch Energy and Body Systems in Miskolc will rise from its present level of roughly 1,900 to 3,000. A further 1,200 associates manufacture power tools for Robert Bosch Power Tool Kft. in another part of the plant. Altogether, the Bosch Group currently employs some 8,000 associates in Hungary. In 2010, sales in the Hungarian market came to €430 million.
