Bosch Rexroth is a global leader in drive and control technologies, helping to increase efficiency, flexibility and productivity in manufacturing and mobile machinery across a wide range of industries. With a history dating back to 1795 and a long-standing commitment to innovation, the company provides reliable solutions for factory automation, industrial hydraulics and mobile hydraulics.
The story of Rexroth began in 1795 with the establishment of an ironworks in Germany’s Spessart region. Over more than two centuries, the original foundry evolved into a global technology company. A key milestone came in 2001, when Mannesmann Rexroth merged with the automation technology division of Robert Bosch to form today’s Bosch Rexroth.
The strength of an international group combined with a strong focus on research and development has transformed the historic company into a global player employing approximately 33,000 people and operating in more than 80 countries worldwide. Bosch Rexroth works closely with leading industrial companies and research organizations around the world. Through its products and system solutions, it contributes to greater efficiency, sustainability and the digitalization of manufacturing.
