Bosch inaugurated the second office building built within the Engineering Center in Cluj, following an investment of approximately 21 million euros, over a period of three years. The total investment, started in 2017, in the two buildings of the center in Cluj amounts to over 50 million euros. The new building, whose construction began in March 2021, has a built-up area of approximately 10,000 square meters, divided over ten floors, and is connected to the existing headquarters by two walkways. A year ago, Bosch announced that it will expand to Sibiu the research and engineering division. The Engineering Center has 1,400 employees in Cluj, and this year the construction of a ten-story building will be completed where work began in 2021. The Center operates in areas such as software, hardware and mechanical engineering, reliability engineering and quality validation, but also in the mobility sector. The factory in Jucu, Cluj county, registered growth in 2022, producing, compared to last year, 12 percent more electronic control units for airbags, multi-camera systems and for driving assistance. A new building was built at the Blaj factory. In 2018, Bosch bought a 44 ha plot of land in Simeria, to invest 110 million euros in a washing machine factory. A year later, the company announced that it would no longer make the factory, because there was no longer such a high demand in the market for these devices.
