History

1908–1955

Max Brose opened a trading company for automobile accessories in Berlin on 4 March 1908, while also working as general agent for his father's car body manufacturing company in Wuppertal.

After the First World War, Max Brose and Ernst Jühling, who grew up in Coburg, founded Metallwerk Max Brose & Co. in Coburg on 14 June 1919.[5]

2000–2015

In April 2008, Brose added electric drives for window regulators, sunroofs and seat belt retractors to its portfolio by purchasing the electric motor business of Continental AG. In setting up the drives business division, the number of employees increased from nearly 10,000 to more than 14,000. Since then, the company has been divided into three business divisions: Seat, Door and Drives.[6]

In 2011 Brose is the world's fifth-largest family-owned automotive supplier based on turnover. 10% of the total annually business volume is invested in the development of new products and processes with a focus on the development of products that contribute to fuel efficiency.[7]

In April 2013, Brose received its first Pace Award for the sensor for hands-free opening of liftgates;[8] Due to the increasing electrification and digitisation of vehicles, Brose invested in a test centre in Würzburg to measure electromagnetic compatibility.[9]
