Bosch Rexroth France

What Bosch Rexroth France does

Bosch Rexroth France (legal entity Bosch Rexroth S.A.S., headquartered in Vénissieux, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) is the French operating subsidiary of Bosch Rexroth AG, which itself is a division of the German Robert Bosch GmbH group. The company sells and supports industrial automation and drive technology solutions, spanning industrial and mobile hydraulics, electric drives and controls, linear motion technology, assembly systems, tightening and welding technology, mobile robotics, and the eLION electrification product family for off-highway mobile machines. Its flagship software platform, ctrlX AUTOMATION, integrates IT, OT, and IoT capabilities with claims of up to 50% reductions in components, time-to-market, and costs. Other notable technical assets include HSR modular hydraulic blocks (NG6-NG25), Function Integrated Profiles (FIP) with integrated cable routing, additive-manufactured hydraulic manifolds, LC_8X cartridge valves, and the Kassow Robots 7-axis cobot line acquired by the parent group. The connected hydraulic power unit Cytrobox, paired with the CytroConnect cloud predictive maintenance service, represents the company's main data/IoT productization to date.

The business model is enterprise B2B, with revenue generated primarily through hardware sales of components and systems, complemented by professional services such as eLION system integration and commissioning, remanufacturing and retrofit (Service Rexroth), and field-sales-led technical support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers use online eConfigurators for product selection but engage sales engineers for final configuration and pricing. The go-to-market combines direct field sales engineers, an eStore, a Certified Excellence Partner and Official Partner network across France, and an extensive content-marketing engine (Blog Expertise, white papers, webinars, French-language podcasts) targeting industrial manufacturers and mobile machinery OEMs across diverse verticals including packaging, beverage, food and logistics, printing, mining, and port logistics. Named French-market customers include Guillin Emballages, Refresco, Groupe Robert, Normandise, System TM, GIC, Aramine, Gaussin, and Alliance Océane (the latter served via partner BFR Systems). The entity operates with 209 employees, registered capital of €33.47M, and is led locally by President Richard Brunet.
