BROADVIEW, IL — The aftermarket division of Robert Bosch Corp. has won the 2005 Lincoln Silver Award for Progress Towards Excellence. Given by the Lincoln Foundation for Performance Excellence, the award recognizes any Illinois-based industry, service, health care, education or governmental entity for its organizational strength and performance as measured against the seven criteria of the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award – leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resources focus, process management and organization results.

“We are extremely proud and honored to accept the 2005 Lincoln Silver Award for Progress Towards Excellence,” said David Coolidge, president of Bosch’s North American Aftermarket Division. Citing in 2006 Bosch will celebrate 100 years of operations in the U.S., Coolidge noted “the Bosch tradition was founded on a commitment to the values of quality and innovation and this award proves and recognizes our dedication to that tradition of continuous improvement.”

In his acceptance speech, Coolidge thanked the foundation and especially the examiners for their hard work and insights. “We value the Lincoln foundation’s unbiased, third-party feedback,” Coolidge said. “We will utilize these insights to focus and accelerate our improvement efforts to create increasing value for our customers.”

“The Bosch legacy of leading the automotive industry to new levels of technical innovation and driver satisfaction continues today with products that enhance vehicle performance, safety and driver comfort and convenience. At the same time, Bosch is committed to supporting the automotive aftermarket with offerings that develop new market segments and provide best-in-class value-added service and support systems,” Coolidge said.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, in his letter congratulating Lincoln Award winners, wrote, “I offer my appreciation to each of you for your hard work and terrific leadership. Your efforts are truly making a positive difference in Illinois. With a commitment to continuous improvement you have shown that you can compete and thrive in today’s economy, and you serve as a model for companies across the country to follow.”

Bosch supplies high-performance auto parts, including spark plugs, spark plug wire sets, oxygen sensors, ignition parts, oil and fuel filters, cabin filters, wiper blades, brake pads and rotors as well as starting and charging products, and gasoline and diesel engine management components.

In North America, the Bosch Group manufactures and markets automotive original equipment and aftermarket products, industrial automation and mobile products, power tools and accessories, security technology, thermo-technology, packaging equipment and household appliances. Bosch employs nearly 23,000 associates in more than 80 primary and 20 associated facilities throughout the region with reported sales of $7.8 billion in 2004.
