Makers of Bosch wiper blades achieve good returns so far in 2010
Posted by Fiona Birkwood
The maker of Bosch wiper blades has announced that it has made a good start to the current fiscal year.
The Bosch Group said that this year it plans to make up for a lot of lost sales from 2009.
Franz Fehrenbach, chairman of the Bosch board of management, said that there have been clear signs of recovery in all regions so far but that there has been a particular boost in the Chinese and Indian markets.
In the first quarter of this year, Bosch Group sales were around 25 per cent higher than those in 2009, which could suggest that more motorists are buying Bosch wiper blades.
The company expects sales in the current fiscal year to grow by over ten per cent, to €42 billion (£36.58 billion).
Last month, Bosch was announced as the worlds most admired automotive supplier by the US business magazine, Fortune.
I’ve owned more than one pair of these – they’re quality blades.
I like the squeegee style, but find that for the car I drive every day a more traditional blade support (hinged, truss looking device) works better.
