Within the brand portfolio the main brands are Bosch and Siemens¹.

Four regional brands (Balay, Pitsos, Profilo and Coldex) ensure a broad presence in their respective home markets.

The Group’s product portfolio spans the entire spectrum of modern household appliances. It extends from stoves, ovens and extractor hoods to dishwashers, washers and dryers, from refrigerators and freezers to small appliances (Consumer Products) such as vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, electric kettles, irons and hairdryers.

A clear strategic orientation towards quality and innovation determines the company’s actions and development. BSH relies on its outstanding products and the added value that they provide to the customers in terms of performance, convenience and user-friendliness. Thus the Group creates the prerequisite for long-term customer satisfaction and the basis for people’s trust in BSH and its brands.

Protecting the environment and the climate has been an integral part of the Group’s corporate strategy for decades. BSH’s energy- and water-saving household appliances make a significant contribution toward conserving resources. The transfer of know-how within the BSH Group serves to set global standards on the environmental protection front too. BSH is committed to the Guidelines on Environmental Protection the principle of sustainability, and thus to the responsible handling of resources.

BSH has also set itself the goal of achieving a 25 percent reduction in specific resource consumption in manufacturing and administration by 2015.
