Bosch Rexroth AG
"WE MOVE. YOU WIN."
German drive & control technology leader; hydraulics, linear motion, electric drives, cobots via Kassow Robots; 31,000+ staff; founded 1795/merged 2001.
Bosch Rexroth AG is a global leader in drive and control technology headquartered at Maria-Theresien-Straße 23, 97816 Lohr am Main, Germany. The company traces its origins to a water-powered forge established in 1795 in Lohr and evolved through 225 years of industrial innovation. The current entity was formed on May 1, 2001, through the merger of Mannesmann Rexroth AG and the Automation Technology Business Unit of Robert Bosch GmbH. Bosch Rexroth is a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, employing more than 31,000 people across 80+ countries.
The company's product and technology portfolio spans four major domains: hydraulics (pumps, motors, valves, cylinders), electric drive and control technology (servo drives, servo motors, controllers, PLCs), gear technology, and linear motion and assembly technology (linear guides, screw drives, linear axes, aluminum framing, transfer systems). Bosch Rexroth also provides IoT connectivity, software platforms, and mechatronic solutions that link its hardware to Industry 4.0 architectures.
In the robotics domain, Bosch Rexroth expanded significantly in May 2022 by acquiring a majority stake in Kassow Robots ApS, a Danish startup specializing in lightweight 7-axis collaborative robots for flexible production environments. The Kassow KR cobots feature a unique kinematic 7th axis — a twist in the forearm — enabling operation in tight spaces with high dexterity. This acquisition positioned Bosch Rexroth as a supplier of integrated cobot solutions alongside its established linear robot modules and motion control systems.
Bosch Rexroth serves industries including factory automation, packaging, machine tools, mobile machinery, renewable energy, hydraulic press, and medical technology. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and produces products at manufacturing sites in Germany (Lohr am Main, Schweinfurt, Burscheid, Goppingen), Europe, Americas, and Asia-Pacific. In 2026, the company showcased smart automation and cobot solutions at Automate 2026.
