The Bosch Group has today inaugurated its new headquarters in Koropi. The new facility, with a total floor space of 9,000 square meters, is set in 38,000 square meters of land. It includes offices, service departments, and training centers, as well as warehouses and show rooms. The total investment for the land and the buildings amounted to 20 million euros. "This important investment will reinforce the presence and the image of the Bosch Group in our country, enhance employment opportunities, and improve the services offered to our customers," said Costas Bobis, general manager of Robert Bosch S.A. The facility was opened by Theodore Athanasopoulos, mayor of Koropi, and Dr. Rudolf Colm, member of the Bosch board of management, together with the CEOs of the Bosch Group companies in Greece.

In his inauguration speech, Dr. Colm said: “I am glad that we continue to strengthen our global presence despite the currently difficult economic situation.” The complex features eco-friendly building materials and technologies. The orientation and the layout of the building permit the maximum use of natural lighting and ventilation, which allows energy consumption to be reduced.

The facility will house all three Bosch Group companies in Greece: Robert Bosch S.A., Bosch Thermotechniki S.A., and Bosch Rexroth S.A. In 2008, Bosch Group sales in Greece came to 85 million euros, and it currently employs 150 associates in the country. With the Bosch, Buderus, Junkers, Rexroth, Skil, and Dremel brand names, the Group's products occupy a leading position in the Greek market.
