>Bosch plans to stop production at two Power Tools plants in Germany by late 2026: Sebnitz in Saxony and Leinfelden-Echterdingen near Stuttgart. About 500–510 jobs are affected. Production will shift into Bosch’s wider network, including Central and Eastern Europe.Rip Bosch, you had a good run.Insane that germany is letting their tool flagship brand stop all production at home and essentially allowing the name brand to die but well I guess it's just symptoms of a wider German manufacturing decline. The brand will be 130 years old next year and will probably end up being sold to some amerimutt kike owned conglomerate, fucking sad.
>>2962113festool is the flagship german tool maker now anyway
>>2962115Absolutely delusional. Festool is a small company that most people have never heard about.
>>2962115yeah maybe if you're some asshole making youtube videos. no real person uses that overpriced garbage.
>>2962115EINHELL is the flagship german tool maker now anyway>FTFY
>>2962135
>>2962113well at least they are moving production to my neck of the woods, instead of some asian shithole
>>2962115>FE STOOLshit tools
>>2962298Quality control out of Hungary has been abysmal. Also it's been years and Bosch still has not fixed their sintered gears.
>>2962120>>2962122>>2962299Kekola, thats good bait
>>2962113>The brandbosch is gutting itself for over half a decade by now.Home Appliances? afueraPackaging Machinery? afuera>soonPower tools? afueraAutomotive? afuerai guess E-bikes are still a thriving market in this hellhole
>>2962367>Germany's manufacturing powerhouse was a house built entirely on sticks(cheap russian gas)Jfc, how's the vibe in the country at the moment? I almost moved there a few years back but I'm kinda glad I didn't, the industry decline combined with all the muzzie new arrivals and high COL to support Ukraine seems a pretty successful strategy to rekt the country beyond repair.
>>2962370>cheap russian gasmemeThese companies receive EU subsidies for "developing" eastern european shitholes. Once the factories are build they gut the machinery here, ship them east and shut down. This was the soviet playbook that ruined the gdr btw.The irony is that the workers there pay a small percentage of their own replacement programm.Kärcher? same shit, but they move to lithuania.>how's the vibe in the country at the moment?even my turk coalleagues want to migrate back to turkey kek
>>2962373I was reading a bit on the Bosch issue and seems like the defense industry is eager to attract many of the workers that might lose their jobs soon. EU is supposed to pump lots and lots of euros into the military so it may help ease the problem but I'm not sure. Either way it sucks seeing bosch goijg downhill, the first power tool I bought was an angle grinder from them and around these parts the brand was always considered to be big boy of the tool industry.>>2962315>baitAre you taking the piss? Nobody outside of the trades knows about festool and even within trades there's a lot of people that don't know.If you ask about bosch everyone will know, even millennial women that have never set a foot in a construction site will tell you about that bosch induction cooktop or freezer.
>>2962373>even my turk coalleagues want to migrate back to turkey kekMaybe that's the plan, economically collapse western countries so migrants leave on their own.
>>2962377>the defense industrymost potential buyers demand factories and production licences on their own turf, especially for the lower tech shit
>>2962373I guess germany pays Ukraine to not blow up the pipelines, so gas isn’t that cheap.
>>2962384That will never happen though.>>2962385There's talk about rheinmetall acquiring some of the facilities.>Stock is 1800% up since 2022I guess the war wasn't so bad for a selected few.
>>2962304at least the money end up in Europeit's a cope i know, but beggars can't be choosers
>>2962377>ower tool I bought was an angle grinder from thembosch blue angle grinders were favourite of many certainly home hobbyist welder/fabricatornot so for a few years sadlyhikoki which is what hitachi used to be called (i guess the eponymous pussy dildo vibrator tainted the name too much) or makita seem to be pretty favourable now at least for corded. two japanese? (asian anyway) brands. just shows you.
>>2962373>even my turk coalleagues want to migrate back to turkey kekyet they dont... curious
>>2962370Energy prices are just the bail in the coffin, everything is expensive for companies, taxes, wages, social security, more taxes, more regulations, they do everything they can to make it unattractive for companiesAll part of the zero emission strategy
>>2962408oh no, the poor companies have to pay taxes and wages! and they even have to pay for socials and follow regulations! absolute hellhole bros, please dont come to Europe, it's terrible here.
>>2962405>Bosch blueIndeed, a lil 125 one.>hikokiDecent, very decent. Unfortunately are owned by kikes.>KKR & Co. Inc., also known as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
>>2962409>have to pay taxes>even have to pay for socials and follow regulations! Yeah, it really does sound terrible. They could always just move next to stanley here and you know, not do that as much. In fact maybe they should just buy them since it seems they want to quit so bad. >>2962373>cheap russian gas>memeYou know what's really a meme? Throwing out nuclear for coal.
>>2962120Unironically trueOnly tool heads and specialty trades know about festool They're getting better visibility all the time but it's not well known at all
>>2962122Their domino tool is coolThey were one of the first small hepa shopvac makersThe rest of their tools are largely overblown but still good quality nonetheless
>>2962113Yo can I work in da office there do da autocad
>>2963028>Throwing out nuclear for coalcoal is way cheaper than nuclear. Its the cheapest and most abundant fossil fuel we have. And the flue gas can (and is) turned into profitable construction materials that amerimutts should be plenty familiar with. Not to forget that up until the turn of the centurie even the green tards were pro coal. If goymoney have had more deposits that could be simmultaneosly exploited that chart would show 90% coal

>>2963295>Not to forget that up until the turn of the centurie even the green tards were pro coalHow could I forget? For it was those retards what did away with your nuclear energy. Saving the planet from carbon, one burning bitumen clinker at a time. They still shilling the flower pot heaters too? I'm coining the term "Candles for Neuenburg" before anyone else.>If goymoney have had more deposits that could be simmultaneosly exploited that chart would show 90% coalI guess that's why they call it "goymoney" amiright?
>>2962113Germany is collapsing
