Ladies and Gentlemen, Looking back at the previous year, Bosch achieved significant growth in 2011, which echoed the celebration of the company'
s double anniversary: the 125th anniversary of the company'
s foundation and the 150th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Robert Bosch. In 2011, Bosch Group sales revenue grew to 51.5 billion euros, which exceeded the company'
s growth target. In fact, the company recorded one of its best years since 2000. In 2011, Bosch invested 4.2 billion euros in research and development and applied for more than 4,100 patents. The relatively steady growth in Asia and China in particular further contributed to the impressive performance of Bosch in 2011.

s Top Employers
2012 by the Corporate Research Foundation, an independent human resource institute. Both associates'
satisfaction and the independent institute'
s award are recognition of the company'
s great efforts to recruit local talent. In addition, Bosch has continually committed to corporate social responsibility. In April 2011, the Bosch China Charity Center was officially established to support education and poverty relief in China. An annual investment of
25 million yuan demonstrates the company'
s strong commitment to Chinese society. As a responsible corporate citizen, Bosch also continues its sustainable growth in western China. In November 2011, Bosch signed an investment agreement to build a second production facility for its Packaging Technology division in Chengdu. In February 2012, Bosch officially broke ground for a new plant of its Chassis Systems Control division in the same city, showing its firm confidence in the western region of China. The company'
