Bosch is to establish a new manufacturing facility for large wind turbine gear units in Nuremberg for its subsidiary Bosch Rexroth.

Up to 2013, Bosch Rexroth will invest some € 180 million solely in establishing a new manufacturing facility for large wind-turbine gear units. The first large wind-turbine gear units are expected to be delivered to customers from Nuremberg as early as the start of 2009, thereby supplementing the existing manufacturing operation in Witten, also in Germany.
