In a move to merge the representative offices abroad in one company, a joint venture between Willem van Rijn, BSH Huishoud-Elektro B.V. and the Consumer Products Department of Siemens Netherlands was concluded in January 2009.  From this time on, the Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, Neff and Constructa brands were distributed by the new Dutch BSH subsidiary, BSH-Huishoudapparaten, with sales overall in the Netherlands controlled directly by BSH. Preserving the continuity of the business relationships with retail customers and end consumers was the primary reason put forward for the merger.
