Regulations must be implemented in a socially acceptable manner. According to the information obtained, the Bosch home appliances division, which includes brands such as Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff, wants to avoid operational layoffs.

At last count, around 60,000 people worked at BSH worldwide, including around 17,000 in Germany. The division generated more than a fifth of Bosch’s 91.6 billion euros in sales in 2023, according to preliminary business figures. However, this was the only division that recorded a significant decrease in sales last year. Bosch does not expect demand to rebound until 2025.
