These kinds of adaptations are also extended to the company’s range of electricity sources and diesel generators, as Klein explains. Bosch Rexroth still develops its hardware and mechanical devices in Germany, but adapts them for Latin American markets in its Mexico R&D labs. We have witnessed the evolution of the country in terms of its production, so we know how important it will become in the next few years.”īosch Rexroth has set up R&D centers in Guadalajara, which are mainly focused on tropicalizing the company’s technology and adapting it to different environmental settings. Mexico’s economic and industrial growth is hugely important for the company. “The economic ups and downs of the mining industry have forced us to adapt our business model to the current situation. “With the expertise we have in different industries, and with our well-rounded teams of engineers, there are no technical challenges that we cannot solve,” assures Klein. Right now, we are participating in around 25 public tenders in which we have acceptance rates of 60-80%.” Klein attributes the company’s cross-selling strategy as being one of the factors that led to its recent success. “Thanks to our diligence and discipline, we were able to rapidly recover from such a downfall.


“That reduction in sales was not only within the mining industry, but in other industries as well,” explains Thomas Klein, Director General of Bosch Rexroth Mexico. Despite winning various public mining tenders, the company also experienced the industry-wide drop in sales. Bosch Rexroth is one such company, unfaltering in its mission to pursue the interests of the mining industry, and securing some important projects in the past couple of years. When the slump, which has been felt by almost all companies operating within the mining industry, comes to an end, a slew of opportunities will open up for those who are correctly positioned to seize them.
