Translations:Bad Neustadt/1/en
The Siemens Schuckert factories founded the "Elektromotorenwerk II" (electric motor factory II), its second plant for electric motors, in Bad Neustadt an der Saale in 1937. Initially producing electric motors for home appliances, production was subsequently extended to include floor care appliances. The plant immediately became the most important employer in the region. The part of the plant, which produced exclusively for the Bosch and Siemens brands, was taken over by BSH on October 1, 1996. The entire workforce of 550 employees and the production lines were transferred to BSH[1]. The factory buildings remained the property of Siemens AG and were leased long-term by BSH. Development, production and logistics of more than 1.5 million floor care appliances per year were thus managed under one roof. Any thoughts at the time of the takeover on moving production for cost reasons to a low-wage country were dismissed.[2]
- ↑ BSH was founded in 1967 as Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH - BSHG for short. In 1998, the name was changed to BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH, with the short form BSH. Since the sale of the Siemens shares in BSH to Robert Bosch GmbH the company’s name is now BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, but still BSH for short.
