The representative offices, which were also active in the home appliance sector, remained separate companies for an extended period of time.  The sale of Bosch home appliances ran successfully under Willem van Rijn for many years, with Neff also coming on board in 1982. The subsidiary Willem van Rijn Huishoud-elektro B.V. was founded for the sector in 1986. The Siemens and Gaggenau brands were distributed by Siemens NV. The former Chairman of the Board of Management of Bosch, Dr. Kurt-Ludwig Gutberlet, wrote about the partnership with the Dutch representations in a letter of congratulations in 2003: "The success story (...) in the Netherlands could not have been written had we not always been able to count on you (...)."
