Bosch Rexroth

What Bosch Rexroth does

Bosch Rexroth AG is a 100% subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, headquartered in Lohr am Main, Germany, and one of the world's leading suppliers of drive and control technologies. The company operates in more than 80 countries with approximately 31,900 associates worldwide and traces its origins to 1795 through the Rexroth lineage. It serves customers across factory automation, mobile applications, machinery applications, and electronics, providing hydraulic, electric, pneumatic, and gear technologies used in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and production systems. Reported FY2025 revenue was €6.5 billion.

The product portfolio spans hydraulics (cylinders, valves, pumps, motors, and power units), electric drives and controls, linear motion and assembly technologies, welding technology, and tightening technology. Layered on top of this hardware base, Bosch Rexroth is investing in digital solutions — including cloud-based analytics with AI for condition monitoring, optimization, and cybersecurity — alongside Customer Experience Centers (CU.BE) that demonstrate integrated automation solutions. The business holds ISO certifications across quality (9001), environment (14001), occupational health and safety (45001), and energy management (50001), and operates an Efficient Production energy program.

Bosch Rexroth monetizes primarily through the sale of components, sub-systems, and engineered solutions to OEMs and industrial end users, supplemented by services and digital offerings. Its go-to-market combines direct sales, a global sales partner network in 80+ countries, digital channels, and experience centers. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, capital allocation and strategic direction are set within the parent group, which constrains independent fundraising or M&A signaling but provides scale, procurement, and brand leverage.
