New BSH company website

The new BSH company website is presenting itself in a fresh new look and featuring state-of-the-art technology. The core element of the new website – and hence also in line with the consumer centricity focus of BSH – is its target group-specific structure: Thanks to what is referred to as "speaking" navigation, in other words, navigation with a brief explanation of the content of the respective link, visitors can find their way effortlessly around the website. Whether the user is a consumer, an applicant or a press representative, the right information is quick to find. In the press section “Newsroom”, content can be collected– using a shopping cart, as for online shopping – and then downloaded in one step. A completely new color concept and the use of videos and animations provide a modern and dynamic look. Thanks to its responsive design, the new website is optimized for all devices, from the smartphone and tablet to the PC.

50 years of BSH: Special anniversary site

In this anniversary year, BSH is looking back over its fifty-year success story. A special anniversary site, embedded in the new BSH website, now deals with a variety of articles on all kinds of aspects relating to the company's past and its future. There are a host of entertaining and informative reports and portraits prepared in multimedia formats to see and read on trends from the fields of technology, society, science, architecture, design or nutrition. Some first questions include, for example: How will the world change in the coming years? What impact will current trends such as connectivity, experience orientation, health or sustainability have in the long term?
