At Blaj, Bosch opened its first line of linear engineering components in Romania in 2007. Subsequently, the site expanded with the opening of new production units for mobility solutions through the Chassis Systems and Powertrain Solutions divisions and intelligent Industry 4.0 to make production more efficient. Today, the Blaj plant is making significant increases in both the Mobility Solutions and the Industrial Technology sector, being an important player for Bosch. Bosch produces electronic components for the automotive sector in Blaj, in addition to industrial technology equipment.
