Bosch reported total net sales of 2.3 billion euros in Romania: investments reached 35 million euros in 2025

Bosch, a global leader in technology and services, concluded fiscal year 2025 with consolidated sales of 2.9 billion lei (€570 million) to third parties in Romania, marking steady growth of around 9 percent in lei terms (7.6 percent in euros), despite challenging market conditions. Total net sales of 11.7 billion lei (€2.3 billion) generated in Romania, including sales by non-consolidated companies and internal deliveries to affiliated companies, recorded a slight decline of 1.8 percent compared to the previous year.

“Bosch Romania once again demonstrated its resilience, delivering stable performance despite market difficulties and economic uncertainty during fiscal year 2025,” said Dan Lăzărescu, General Manager of Robert Bosch S.R.L. and representative of the Bosch Group in Romania. “This achievement is the direct result of our strategy focused on digitalization and innovation, as well as the remarkable dedication and adaptability of our employees across all operations. Beyond its business activities, Bosch today represents a trusted partner for Romanian society, a contributor to local communities, and a top employer.”

As of December 31, 2025, Bosch employed approximately 9,900 people in Romania, representing a slight decrease of 4 percent compared to the previous year. Bosch invested around 176 million lei (€35 million) in Romania in 2025, primarily in the development of its plants in Cluj and Blaj. While navigating the turbulence affecting the global automotive industry and adapting to increasing pricing pressure, Bosch remains committed to the local market. To strengthen its future competitiveness, Bosch will continue to expand its local expertise, with a strong focus on shaping key digitalization and automation trends in Romania.

In the first quarter of 2026, Bosch managed to maintain sales at a level approximately similar to the previous year. In Romania, the company had a positive start to 2026, recording slight sales growth compared to the same period in 2025.

Looking ahead, Bosch anticipates that the slow economic development seen in 2025 will continue into the current fiscal year. The company expects the global economy to post moderate growth, in line with recent years. In Romania, Bosch maintains a cautious outlook for 2026.

“We remain fully committed to the Romanian market,” Lazarescu added. “To ensure our long-term success in the country, we rely on the existence of a strong competitive ecosystem. A stable legislative and fiscal framework, modern infrastructure, affordable energy, a future-oriented education system, and a modernized labor law framework are all essential foundations. If these elements are in place, we are confident in our ability to navigate the current landscape.”
