BSH Michalovce (Slovakia)

Weather…

The BSH Hausgeräte (Bosch and Siemens Home Appliances) plant in the eastern Slovak city of Michalovce is a prime example of a highly specialized and successful foreign direct investment in a developing region. This factory serves as the Bosch Group's most important European competence center for the development and mass production of electric motors and innovative drive systems. These high-precision, highly energy-efficient motors are the beating heart of millions of washing machines, tumble dryers, and dishwashers sold by the BSH Group worldwide. Since its establishment, the company has invested heavily in automation, state-of-the-art assembly lines, and its own dedicated research center. Employing well over 1,000 people, BSH is the most stable and largest private employer in the Zemplín region. The company's commitment to Michalovce not only curbs the outmigration of skilled labor but also actively attracts additional suppliers to the city's expanding industrial park.
