Based in York, Pa., RTI Technologies had 2009 sales of $12 million and employs 36 people, all of whom will be retained by Bosch. Terms of the agreement will not be disclosed.
“The automotive air conditioning service is an important opportunity for Bosch to grow its diagnostic business globally,” said Robert Hanser, president of Bosch’s automotive aftermarket unit. “The acquisition of RTI Technologies offers us an outstanding opportunity to meet the immediate needs of our customers with automotive maintenance equipment, especially air conditioning service for the next generation refrigerant R1234yf. We are looking forward to providing these innovative products to our customers, especially in the European market, beginning next year.”
