Bosch Recognised as a Business Superbrand for 2011

DENHAM, England, March 7, 2011 - The announcement of Superbrands 2011 confirms Bosch as one of
the UK's leading business to business brands. The announcement follows a
robust research process administered independently by The Centre for Brand
Analysis, which analysed the views of an Expert Council and 2,000 UK business
professionals.

Of the thousands of brands initially considered only the top
500 are deemed to be Business Superbrands; Bosch was placed 10th in the
prestigious annual listing, now in its ninth year.

Stephen Cheliotis, Chairman of the Expert Council & CEO, The Centre for
Brand Analysis, comments: "Congratulations to Bosch on achieving Business
Superbrands status. This status confirms the strength and potency of the
brand in the UK.

"As we enter another difficult year, the resilience of a business can be
boosted by its reputation, helping to stimulate demand and loyalty versus
weaker-branded rivals. The company and its employees can be extremely proud
to be recognised amongst the UK's leading B2B brands. The achievement
reflects the views of experts and professionals who deemed the brand to
represent quality, reliability and distinction."

Engineering giant, Rolls-Royce Group, was the number one
brand, up from second last year, whilst BlackBerry also moves up one position
from last year to take second place. Completing the top three is software
giant Microsoft, which fell from number one last time out. Eight of the top
ten remain the same as in 2010, proving the buoyancy a strong brand provides.

The Bosch Group is a leading global supplier of technology and services.
According to preliminary figures, some 283,500 associates generated sales of
47.3 billion euros in the areas of automotive and industrial technology,
consumer goods, and building technology in fiscal 2010. The Bosch Group
