Unveiling the Background: Bosch and their Electric Motor Component
In 1886, Robert Bosch established his workshop in Stuttgart, Germany, under the name Werkstätte für Feinmechanik und Elektrotechnik. This humble beginning marked the start of a journey that would eventually lead Bosch to become a global powerhouse in various sectors.
Initially, Bosch focused on repairing and manufacturing precision electrical devices and small mechanical parts. A significant breakthrough came in 1897 when Bosch developed the first reliable magneto ignition system for a vehicle engine, which they installed in a Gottlieb Daimler engine. This innovation revolutionised the automotive industry and set the stage for Bosch's future success.
As the company grew, so did its ambition. In 1919, Bosch adopted the 'logos' designed by chief engineer Gottlob Honold. This 'logo maker' symbolised Bosch's engineering roots and electromechanical expertise. The following year, the logo was redesigned by Lucian Bernhard, featuring a stylized cross with a rod-like element symbolizing an electrical armature.
The 'logos' embodied the core values of technical precision and reliability that Bosch upheld. It also reflected the company's enduring ambition to create technologies 'Invented for life'. Over time, the logo evolved, but it remained faithful to its technical origins.
Today, Bosch operates through 400 subsidiaries and employs over 400,000 people worldwide. Its activities now span four sectors: Mobility Solutions, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods, and Energy and Building Technology. The Bosch 'logo', used to represent the company's activities in mobility, industry, and households worldwide, continues to symbolise Bosch's story of innovation and pioneering role in modern electromechanics.
While the original Bosch 'logo' was a small red devil, symbolising the power of the electric spark, the 'red devil' logo was mainly used for advertising in catalogs and posters. The evolution of the Bosch 'logo' from a playful symbol to a more technical and sophisticated design reflects the company's growth and maturity over the years.
As Bosch continues to push the boundaries of technology, its 'logo' serves as a constant reminder of its roots and the values it holds dear: technical precision, reliability, and the relentless pursuit of innovation.
