Translations:Die Fabrik Nauen/2/en
BSH[1] decided against expanding the parent factory in Berlin for the new products and instead opted to construct a completely new factory. Sites in Brandenburg, Saxony and the Czech Republic were considered. The final decision was made in favor of Brandenburg for a number of reasons including the existing infrastructure, the proximity to Berlin, the favorable geographical location for international shipment as well as the State subsidies that ran into the millions. The following year in 1992, approval was granted by the shareholder delegation, planning commenced, the building application was submitted and an industrial site purchased in Nauen.[2] The aim was to produce washing machines for the international market. The building was finally constructed and the first pre-series production left the assembly lines in August 1994. Series production of dryers commenced in March 1995.
- ↑ 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.
