GERLING – Announcing plans for a gradual return to full manufacturing after closing around 100 plants worldwide, engineering and technology leader Bosch is to begin manufacturing its own protective face masks.
“It took our special-purpose machinery unit just a few weeks to design the necessary machinery,” said company chairman Dr Volkmar Denner, during a virtual press conference in which the company reported 2019 sales of €67.8 billion. “Bosch is currently setting up two fully automatic production lines at its Stuttgart-Feuerbach location, with further lines to follow at its Erbach location in Germany as well as in India and Mexico.
