July 18, 2012: Bosch Power Tools has launched its high performance range of professional High Pressure Washers (HPW) in India. Graeme Stokoe, head of business development, Outdoor Cleaning Equipment and Vijay Pandey, VP, Bosch Power Tools India, unveiled the HPW range.

Bosch offers a complete range of professional HPWs in India targeted at the automotive, contract cleaning, construction, service and repair sectors. The company says a high flow rate and powerful pressure together combine in significantly reducing the water consumption when compared to the traditional belt-driven pressure washers. These tools are engineered to remove stubborn dirt and can perform in the most rugged environments.

The launch of the professional HPW range sees Bosch Lawn and Garden enter a new product category with the newly formed Outdoor Cleaning Equipment Business unit. The organised cleaning segment in India is growing at a rapid pace and stands at Rs 250 crore of which the HPW segment constitutes 20 percent. Within this 40 percent of users are estimated to be ‘Do It Yourself’ and 60 percent professional.

Vijay Pandey (pictured) said: “These tools will further strengthen our innovative edge in India and are designed to cater to the ever growing automotive, commercial vehicle, construction, public transport, public area and service and repair industries.”

Bosch plans to introduce the new products in a phased manner, which will be made available through a network of over 600 Bosch-authorised dealers and channel partners across 150 cities. The HPW range will be available across India and priced between Rs 40,000 and Rs 100,000.
