History – Some Milestones
Robert Bosch opened his first workshop in Germany for precision and electric engineering in 1886. Robert Bosch and his partner found much success in installing a low voltage magneto ignition device in a motor vehicle, a De Dion-Bouton three-wheeler. Then the first Bosch office outside Germany was built in Great Britain with the help of Fredrick R. Simms in 1898. Robert Bosch then asked his development engineer Gottlob Honold to improve his low-voltage device design so that it work without its break-spark rodding which is a high-maintenance part that is susceptible to breakdowns. In that same very year, Honold presented his first prototypes with spark plugs in place of break-spark Roding which came to the invention of the first high-voltage magneto ignition system with Bosch spark plugs in 1902. This was delivered immediately to Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. By 1906, the first Bosch office was established in the U.S. with the official name of Robert Bosch New York Inc. in 1927, the company produced a line of fuel injection pumps and nozzles for diesel engines. They acquired the heating division of Junkers & Co. GmbH.
