Bosch Group is continuing on its successful course despite difficult economic conditions and weak markets, with sales and results last year reaching the 2017 level, which was an all-time high, the German tech and services giant said on Monday.
According to preliminary figures, the group generated sales from operations of €77.9 billion (Bt2.77 trillion) last year.
Sales results were hit hard by exchange-rate effects to the tune of €2.1 billion.
Adjusted for forex effects, revenue rose 4.3 per cent.
“Despite the economically harsh environment, Bosch performed well in 2018. Sales and results are once again on a record level,” said Volkmar Denner, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch, speaking at a press briefing on preliminary figures.
