The battery alliance AmpShare – powered by Bosch is growing. Professional users will soon be able to operate power tools from the brands Aircraft, Cleancraft, and Steinel with any 18V battery by AmpShare. This brings the number of brands in the multi-brand battery alliance up to almost 30. “Our common objective is to offer trade and industry professionals the best and most wide-ranging 18V system, with full compatibility across numerous brands, applications, and countries,” says Henk Becker, President of Bosch Power Tools. To date, professional users can take advantage of more than 200 tools in the AmpShare alliance. By the end of this year, that number is expected to exceed 300. The portfolio includes specialist tools such as battery-powered hydraulic pressing and cutting tools, spotlights, or strapping tools. “With each new manufacturer and each new brand, we are making it easier for users to fill their toolboxes with exactly the tools they need. Each partner brings their own expertise and specialist knowledge to this alliance, thereby enriching the whole portfolio,” Becker says. The goal, he continues, is to offer the right tool and AmpShare battery for every application moving forward, thus saving trades-people money, space, and time.
The Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH, a division of the Bosch Group, is one of the world’s leading providers for power tools, garden tools, power tool accessories and measuring tools. In 2024, its 18,700 associates generated sales* of 5.1 billion euros, about 90 percent of which outside of Germany. With brands such as Bosch and Dremel, the division stands for customer focus and great engineering progress. The core success factors are innovative strength and pace of innovation. In 2025, Bosch Power Tools will again launch more than 100 new products onto the market in its four business segments power tools, outdoor and garden tools, accessories and measuring tools.
Due to a change in the allocation of sales within the Bosch Group, certain revenues from Bosch Power Tools will be accounted for differently in the future. As a result, sales in this division appear to have fallen significantly compared to the previous year, although there was no actual change in economic performance in this regard.
