for our building technology business was also much improved.
Furthermore, we are expanding our comprehensive

In 2010, BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH significantly
increased its sales. The backlog in demand generated
by the economic crisis had a positive impact on business
in Europe. BSH also further expanded its presence in
China. The positive development in business also resulted
from the attractiveness of products that focus on economy
and energy efficiency. At BSH, resource efficiency is more
than just a sales pitch. It is a strategic objective. Like the
entire Bosch Group, BSH regards a business policy that
reconciles environmental and economic interests as the
basis for a corporate strategy that is geared to sustainability.
These products secure major advantages for BSH in a
competitive international market.
