Where are Bosch washing machines assembled?

The washing device of this brand is known all over the world for its reliability and practicality. Qualitative level from German masters, repeatedly proven, is not subject to doubt. But lately the reputation of household appliances from this company has suffered a little, and not entirely positive reviews have begun to appear about it. There is only one reason for this: it all depends on where Bosch washing machines are assembled.

A little history

The company owes its Bosch brand to Robert Bosch, the founder of the company where the production of electrical equipment was established. The beginning of a long path to fame was the end of the 19th century.

Wars and political games repeatedly destroyed the company, but it was revived again, winning its name in the electrical goods markets and surprising users with new products. The efforts of the founder himself and family members were not in vain - the Bosch company has firmly found its feet and enjoys well-deserved popularity today.

On Bosch brand today Hundreds of enterprises operate in dozens of different countries around the world, producing thousands of different products.

The production of Bosch automatic washing devices began relatively late. Successful models first began arriving on German markets in 1958.

Since 1972, the company began mass supply of washing machines, creating a sensation among most women, which increased not only its own reputation, but also income.In Russia, such a product became known not so long ago - since 1997, but this did not create obstacles for the Bosch company to firmly establish itself in the market, beginning its systematic development, which does not end in our time.

Let's try to figure out which countries assemble automatic washing mashines from the company known by its name Bosch.

List of manufacturing countries

Naturally, the production standard household appliances for washing clothes remains in Germany, where the famous Bosch company was able to expand. Today, the largest production base of the BSH concern is located here, producing washing machines under the Bosch brand. This is where the production of the most functional products of the WLX and WAS series is located.

In the mid-90s, a policy was launched to optimize production located in Germany, and the formation of new enterprises in countries with inexpensive labor and conditions conducive to business development. Germany left four enterprises on its own lands, becoming the core of scientific thought.

Centers, laboratory buildings and pilot production facilities are being formed in large cities to develop advanced technologies for Bosch, which are subsequently implemented in new models of washing machines. But no matter how much you would like to buy a German-assembled washing mashine, it turns out to be not such a simple matter - only seven percent of the total number of washing mashines supplied to world markets is produced there.
