Bosch Japan

  • Automotive Manufacturing
  • 5,001–10,000
Founded in 1886, Bosch Corporation is proud to look back on more than 130 years of cutting-edge technological innovation and ingenuity. To this day, the spirit of its founder and namesake Robert Bosch infuses the company with his mindset, his principles and his quotes, many of which are astoundingly forward-looking even today. The remarkable inventor and engineer, Robert Bosch opened his first workshop in the streets of Stuttgart where he created the foundations of what would one day become a multinational corporation that is represented in some 150 countries all around the world. As a leading global supplier of technology and services with roughly 375,000 associates worldwide and 6,600 associates at Bosch Japan, it is no exaggeration to say that the history of the automotive industry has been formed by Bosch's innovations. We do not just keep up with progress. We drive progress. For over a century, Bosch has served as a synonym for constantly pushing the limits, for creating the technology behind the technology, for enabling a working environment that emphasizes innovation, togetherness and excellence in everything we do. Whether you drive a car with ESP, use Bosch power tools or simply want to remotely turn on the air conditioning when leaving work using the MEMS sensor in your smart device: The spirit of excellence at Bosch becomes apparent in everything we develop. Just as Robert Bosch intended it when he set up shop in a small German town 130 years ago. In short, Bosch creates technology that is “Invented for life.”Imprint: bit.ly/bosch_imprint
