Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, ended its 2020 fiscal year with almost 2.2 billion lei (448 million euros) in consolidated sales in Romania, thus registering a growth of approximately three percent compared to the previous year. The total net sales of 6.8 billion lei (1.4 billion euros) in Romania, including sales of non-consolidated companies and internal deliveries to affiliated companies, remained at a level similar to the previous year. “In 2020, the Bosch Group in Romania achieved a notable result despite the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the drop in the automotive production”, said Mihai Boldijar, general manager of Robert Bosch S.R.L. and the representative of the Bosch Group in Romania. “In fact, we performed better than initially expected, thanks to the remarkable effort made by the entire organization, the extraordinary commitment and resilience of our associates, but also thanks to the close collaboration with our partners”, continued Boldijar. With a very good first quarter, Bosch in Romania has made a successful start to 2021. “Despite the challenging market environment, our forecast for the current business year in Romania remains positive”, Boldijar added. The company is implementing a wide range of measures to ensure that associates are protected against coronavirus infection and to secure the continuation of its business operations. The number of associates employed at Bosch in Romania stood at around 8,160 as of December 31, 2020.
