The integrity of my promises, the good reasons for relying on Bosch filters belief in the value of my products and of my word of honor have always had a higher priority to me than a transitory profit.” Robert Bosch, 1918 Bosch filters protect important and expensive vehicle components. In return, no compromises can be made concerning their product quality. Every Bosch filter features high-quality materials, top processing and technical know-how.

At the Bosch filter production, a major focus is placed on environmental protection:

▶ Environmentally friendly development complying with the most stringent legal standards, use of recycled materials and avoidance of harmful ingredients Development ▶ Environmental protection throughout production due to Bosch‘s own environmental standard, being even stricter than legal guidelines ▶ Sustainable products and waste reduction by Field observation Production replaceable filter inserts
