Bosch Unveils Restructuring and Layoff Plan, Roughly 62,500 Employees in Germany to Transfer to New Legal Entities

Bosch recently announced a restructuring plan involving organizational adjustments and layoffs. Previously, Bosch unveiled a layoff plan of 9,000 positions in 2024, and in September 2025 announced an additional 13,000 layoffs, bringing the cumulative total to 22,000 by 2030, with the vast majority concentrated in the Mobility sector. The current personnel adjustments are limited to Germany, with overseas markets such as China unaffected. During the restructuring, approximately 62,500 employees in Germany will be transferred to newly established independent legal entities, with existing labor contracts carried over accordingly. The restructuring plan will be implemented in multiple phases, with all adjustments expected to be completed by the end of 2027, and layoffs continuing through 2030. Upon completion of the restructuring, Bosch headquarters will retain more than 3,000 employees responsible for core functions and forward-looking research and development, while individual business units will gain operational autonomy.
