Criticism of the planned cooperation came from different sides, including the state. The Federal Cartel Office raised concerns about the cooperation in a resolution from March 17, 1966.[1] The contract was thereupon revised and the Cartel Office gave the green light on November 22, 1966. Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSHG) was founded by Siemens AG and Robert Bosch GmbH on January 13, 1967.[2] BSHG was run in equal representation by three shareholders from each of the parent companies, Siemens and Bosch.[3] The share capital was one million Deutschmark. The products continued to be distributed under the registered trademarks. In the years that followed, BSHG reorganized its sales and production. Structures were standardized based on the Siemens sites in Berlin (specializing in washing machines) and Traunreut (specializing in cookers, ovens, cooktops) and the Bosch site in Giengen (specializing in dishwashers and refrigeration appliances) and synergies were sought.
