Bosch launches fully automated production lines for face masks

In the fight against coronavirus, Bosch has now turned its hand to the fully automated production of face masks. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH, launched the first special production line for face masks at the Bosch plant in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. “Containing coronavirus is a challenge for society as a whole. By equipping our associates with masks, we make ourselves, we are helping to relieve the market burden. Moreover, we are doing the groundwork that will enable us to resume operations safely and protect our associates,” Denner says. Following a coordinated ramp-up that will run until the end of June, the company will make over half a million masks a day on five production lines at four locations worldwide. Bosch’s special-purpose machinery unit designed the lines. Bosch is making the design plans available to interested companies free of charge.
