Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G. Bose, the professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Today, Bose Corporation is a privately held company with annual sales exceeding $2.5 billion. One hundred percent of profits are reinvested in the company’s growth and development.
Our exceptionally strong commitment to research fuels our fundamental goal: to develop breakthrough products and technologies that improve people’s lives. We apply the highest level of scientific inquiry and invention to the discovery of new concepts and the development of new products. It is in this spirit of innovation and passion that we strive to create unique experiences that enlighten and delight our customers.
The Bose approach to designing speakers and home entertainment systems is based on the belief that these products exist to provide high-quality music and sound to everyone, everywhere, and that the music or sound–not equipment–is the ultimate benefit. We strive to deliver excellent performance, elegant design, and simplicity of operation in all our products.
From the very beginning, we have also applied our research talent and expertise to areas outside the realm of audio. Our first products were power amplifiers. We have since developed electromagnetic automobile suspensions and biomedical testing equipment.
Today, Bose employs approximately 9,000 people worldwide. Over 250 of those employees work in locations across China, managing marketing and sales for key lines of business and managing relationships with customers and suppliers. The Bose Operations Center in Shenzhen, opened in 2006, employs professionals in engineering, procurement and other disciplines. Wherever we are located, we seek the best and brightest local talent, and provide them with resources and opportunity for growth. We are proud of our unique culture, founded on integrity and respect–values that have been shared throughout the company since our very beginning.
