From March 1, 2018, the Bosch Security Systems division will be known as Bosch Building Technologies. Gert van Iperen, president of the Bosch Security Systems division, said: “We want the scope of our portfolio to be reflected better in our name as well.”
The division comprises two units, the global product business and the regional system integration services business, which operates in eight countries.
1) In these eight countries, the system integration unit provides integrated solutions for commercial buildings. Depending on the region, the portfolio includes building security, energy services, and building automation. For customers, this means planning, installation, and operation of these solutions, plus other services, from a single source.
2) The product business – to be known as Bosch Security and Safety Systems – will continue to operate as a global supplier of video, intrusion, fire alarm, and voice-alarm systems, as well as of access control systems and management software, under the Bosch brand. It also offers audio and conference systems for the transmission of voice, sound, and music. The products are distributed exclusively to system integrators or through wholesale dealers.
van Iperen adds: “In combining these three business units, our aim is to ensure we can meet our customers’ needs even better in the future. In the years ahead, we want to actively shape the process of transformation brought about by the internet of things, as well as to focus more on connectivity, integrated solutions, and services. At the same time, this move will strengthen our competitiveness.”
