Bosch

Bosch traces back to the workshop for precision mechanics and electrical engineering founded in Stuttgart in 1886. Two fields matter for comparisons: home appliances, which run through the BSH subsidiary, and power tools.

With tools the colour separates the worlds – green is for DIY, blue for the trades, with different mechanics, warranty and price. Home appliances span entry level to the upper class, and the spare parts network is among the densest in the market.
