Bosch is moving to building TX on Strijp-T.
EINDHOVEN - The Bosch building on Strijp-S in Eindhoven will become available in 2025 when the company moves to building TX on Strijp-T.
Several regional parts of the multinational Bosch will then move to Strijp-T, as the first tenant in building TX, the former machine factory of Philips that is being renovated. Alderman Stijn Steenbakkers of the municipality of Eindhoven, owner of the property that Bosch is leaving on Strijp-S, reacts 'happy' to the news. 'It is nice that Bosch is expanding its activities on Strijp-T, as the first major tenant in building TX. Together, we continue to build on the strength and future of our city.'
Biggest deal for Geva BV
For Geva BV, the rental of the 14,000 square meters of TX is the largest deal the company has closed in its seventy-year history, says Boudie Hoogedeure of Geva BV, the real estate company of the Goevaers family that owns the Strijp-T business park. "The presence of Bosch fits perfectly within the model of Strijp-T, where the theme Make-Create-Innovate is central," says Hoogedeure. The agreement officially signed on Friday provides the owner with certainty to continue the project - totaling 56,000 square meters of offices and other workspaces.
In the second half of 2025, Bosch will relocate (parts of) various departments to TX, totaling around 600 employees. This includes Bosch Security Systems from Strijp-S, Bosch Rexroth from Boxtel, ItoM (Ideas to the Market, currently located on Boschdijk in Eindhoven), and the supporting services of Robert Bosch B.V. and Robert Bosch Investment.

In Boxtel, a part of the company, the well-known factory for hydraulic cylinders, had already been sold. The remaining employees are now moving to Eindhoven. "We are now concentrating the business units in the region at one high-tech location," says a spokesperson. "Because people mainly know us for washing machines and dishwashers, but Bosch is truly a high-tech company."

Bosch does this 'to make optimal use of each other's experience and knowledge; in this way we stimulate mutual cooperation. In addition, the proximity of educational and knowledge institutions also offers additional opportunities,' says Patrick Incoletti, director of Bosch Benelux in a press release.
Bosch will have spaces for product and software development, system development, laboratories, customer service and logistics, demonstration and training rooms, as well as offices for sales and administrative functions at the new location.

The current Bosch building on Torenallee has about 10,000 square meters. Since 2011, Bosch Security Systems has been located here, mainly developing fire alarms, video surveillance systems, burglar alarms, as well as audio systems for conferences and meetings. The space in the Bosch building is not efficient and outdated in terms of sustainability.
In building TX, Bosch will receive a hypermodern building in terms of environmental measures that is also much easier to use. The company will rent the two five-story work towers on the side of Achtseweg-Zuid and the space in the enormous hall up to the food court that divides TX in two. In total, this amounts to 14,000 square meters.
Building TX is good for 56,000 square meters of businesses.
On Strijp-T, formerly entirely owned by Philips, there are still two traditional production companies active: Draka (cables) and Smurfit Kappa (cardboard, packaging). A large part of the other buildings has been renovated by Geva BV in the past five years, with a great sense of history. This includes the pumping station TAQ (for high-tech company Settels Savenije), energy plant TR (Innovation Powerhouse, including design agency Van Berlo), building complex TQ (housing a large number of companies), and Glass Laboratory TY (drone manufacturer Avular).
Demolition and asbestos removal have started.
Now it's TX's turn, the former machine factory of Philips. In the 300 meters long and 67 meters wide building, including new construction, there is space for 56,000 square meters of companies. Geva BV has already started with asbestos removal and demolition of the interior. During the transformation, the facades will be rebuilt according to the old image, but insulated. The old sawtooth roofs will also be insulated and equipped with solar panels. The design for the renovation is by architect Stefan de Bever.
The technology company has around 421,000 employees worldwide, of which approximately 3,050 work in the Netherlands. Besides Eindhoven, the main locations are Bosch Transmission Technology in Tilburg, Nefit Bosch in Deventer, Bosch Power Tools in Breda, Bosch Energy and Building Solutions in Nieuwegein and Berkel & Rodenrijs, BSH Home Appliances in Hoofddorp, Bosch Rexroth in Haarlem, and ItoM in Enschede. The multinational generated a revenue of 88.2 billion euros in 2022.
