Supposing you wrote a letter to "Bosch Purchasing division, Stuttgart, Germany" and supposing it arrived. But would it arrive at the right address for you?

You can do business with Bosch anywhere in the world, in an office just around the corner from you or on another continent entirely. You can do business on three levels:

1. For material fields which several divisions require, the Corporate Sector Purchasing controls procurement worldwide for the entire Bosch Group.

2. Other material fields are purchased by one of our 16 divisions for several different plants. Several plants are attached to each such division.

3. Other goods are purchased directly in the country by the plant.

This 3-level structure has one major advantage for you: your contact is present in the very place where the decision about placing an order is made.
