Bosch is allocating €100 million to scale its manufacturing footprint and research operations in Aveiro. The facility houses the group's main assembly line for electric heat pumps and operates the largest thermal R&D laboratory in the Iberian Peninsula, supplying technology to 32 international units within the company network.
Infrastructure Expansion and Workforce Growth
The capital injection funds two new production buildings, more assembly lines, and a specialized acoustic laboratory to test operational sound levels and refine thermal performance. This multi-year expansion creates 400 specialized positions across engineering, research, and technical operations.
European Market Position
Aveiro operates as a key node in Bosch's European thermal network alongside facilities in Tranås, Sweden, and Eibelshausen, Germany. The Portuguese site produces outdoor and wall-mounted indoor units for eco-friendly propane heat pumps to meet rising demand for sustainable climate technology across Europe.
