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 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 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.
