BOSCH ICON: ROBERT BOSCH

Switching it up! This episode, we’re talking about a person - one person in particular, our company’s founder Robert Bosch. Our host Geoff, a self-declared Bosch fanboy, sits down with Dietrich Kuhlgatz, Director Historical Communications at Bosch. Dietrich brings some treasures, including a diary and actual sound bites from Robert Bosch himself. Meanwhile, co-host Melena has a closer look at the device that was the “big bang” for Bosch, the ignition magneto. This first Bosch bestseller provided the foundation for what the company is today.
