Siemens iQ300 washing machine

Siemens is a legacy German brand that has been a global leader in electrical engineering and home technology for over a century. The appliance division was famously a joint venture between Siemens AG and Robert Bosch GmbH, known as BSH Hausgeräte GmbH. This partnership combined the technological prowess of two German industrial giants to create high-performance domestic products.

In 2015, Robert Bosch GmbH acquired Siemens' 50% stake in the joint venture, becoming the sole owner of the BSH group. While the appliances continue to be marketed under the Siemens brand name through a long-term licensing agreement, the engineering and corporate management are fully integrated within BSH. Manufacturing for the European market primarily takes place in advanced facilities in Germany, Poland, and Spain, ensuring consistent quality across the continent.
