Bosch branch reports record-breaking DM 200 million turnover last year

The total turnover of the Polish branch of Robert Bosch - the German group producing power tools, household appliances, and car accessories - reached a record level of DM 200 million last year, almost twenty times the amount eight years ago when the company initiated its activity here. "The Polish branch is the concern's first regional company in Central and Eastern Europe which has exceeded the DM 200 million level," said Agata Janicka, the company's spokeswoman. The results refer only to the sales of Bosch, Siemens and Dremel brands of power tools, Bosch car components and accessories, Blaupunkt car audio equipment and Junkers heating equipment. In addition to its trading activities, the company also owns two other Poland-based plants, one in Twardogora producing car components for Fiat, General Motors, Suzuki and Peugeot, and the other in Lodz producing washing machines.
