Bosch manufactures the more expensive ones in Germany or Switzerland and has the cheaper ones made in China.
The Bosch company used to make all their own tools in Germany or Switzerland. Now they have many made in other countries,some even in China. -I have many excellent Bosch tools over 20 years old made in Switzerland and Germany. So TG , I will never have to buy the ones made in China.
Roughly ten years ago, most Bosch power tools were made in Germany, Switzerland or the USA. Most Bosch power tools are now either made or assembled in one of four countries:Malaysia (e.g., corded sanders and cordless tools)Mexico (e.g., routers)Taiwan (e.g., table saws and sliding compound mitre saws)China (e.g., reciprocating saws and hand-held grinders)A few Bosch power tools are still made in Europe. Some Bosch SDS rotary hammer drills (e.g., RH328VC) and at least one Bosch angle grinder (1810PS) are still made in Germany. The Bosch 1590 and 1591 jig saws are still made in Switzerland.
probably Germany because bosch is a German brand
Unfortunately ( in my opinion ) most power tool manufacture has now moved offshore. Almost all of the cheaper power tools are made in mainland China. Some more specialised tools are made in Taiwan, Phillippines, Singapore and Mexico. Some of these factories have some quality control over-sight from parent companies in US, Britain and Germany, but i'm not certain how much. I was recently dismayed to find that all Bosch tools under a certain price are now made in China. If you want a Bosch tool made in US or Germany it will cost over 500.
Switzerland
In Germany and the US, I believe in North Carolina.
who makes Matag dishwashers
I believe Bosch makes the best jigsaws. Their more expensive jigsaws made in Switzerland are about the best I have seen.
No! My 85 had a brake booster made in Australia, fuel injectors (Bosch) made in Germany...who knows what else...
Unfortunately nowadays not many hand or electric tools are made in US. Some companies make their best tools in America, Germany, Mexico or Japan. Of the popular makes almost all Ridgid, Stanley, Crescent, Porter Cable, Black and Decker, and Milwaukee have their cheaper tools made in China. . Tools are made everywhere but in my opinion the best are made in Germany, UK, Switzerland, Sweden, USA, Japan and Mexico I still use a 1985 DeWalt 384 rotary saw made in Mexico, almost every day.
Bosch vacuum cleaners were originally made in Germany back in the "old days". However, since then China has become a massive power and production costs are significantly lower so Bosch is now made in China.
