Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Limited (RBEI), the wholly owned Engineering and IT services subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH in India, has decided to expand its operations by setting up a new centre in Vietnam.
RBEI with its headquarters in Bangalore, already has a state-of-the-art location in Coimbatore in South India. It will now further expand its operations with its investments in a new Software and Engineering Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to further increase its services to the Bosch group of companies globally.
The main focus of this new centre would include embedded software development, IT software and Mechanical Engineering services. “Keeping in line with the fast-growing pace that RBEI has been witnessing so far, we plan to recruit over 500 engineers in the coming 5 years at this centre in Vietnam. RBEI sees this as a critical extension to complement the company’s growth, owing to its proximity to other strategic partners in the region.” says Mr. Friedhelm Pickhard, Managing Director Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Ltd.
The centre will start operations from August 2010. This will be the third centre for RBEI after Bangalore and Coimbatore. In fact Vietnam was chosen after an extensive study that was conducted in more than 14 cities in 8 countries across Asia, Europe and North America. The company acknowledges the good infrastructure facilities and available talent in Ho Chi Minh City. Recruitments will be done for both laterals as well as for freshers from universities.
The launch of the new centre in Vietnam comes as a major boost as it ensures a lot of opportunities for the Bosch Group globally with its proximity to automotive OEMs in Japan, Korea and China
