About Bowa
BOWA was established in 1977 by BOsner and WAlter, BOWA-electronic GmbH started developing and producing next-generation products for the automobile industry. Soon a core competence emerged for sensors, cables, plug-and-socket connections and injection-moulded plastic components.
We started off in Gomaringen/Germany, and since 1990 we have started a second production facility in Poznan/Poland (BOWA Polska – formerly "Trans-Plast"), where we are continually expanding the development and production of brake wear sensors for the automobile industry. Pioneering ingenuity and expertise in the technology of plastic injection moulding have made BOWA the top supplier and coveted tier-1 supplier for the automobile industry.
In 2005, they changed their business name to BOWA-electronic GmbH & Co. KG to develop, under the management of Dr. Thomas Kröber, into a flourishing undertaking with almost 200 employees and approximately 500 at their Polish location.
BOWA engineers our brake wear sensors in Germany, which are then 100% manufactured in our modern factory in Poland. This means that every brake wear sensor offered by BOWA is produced by BOWA – nothing is re-boxed from other suppliers. Unlike the competition, who claim they are "the" OE Manufacturer, BOWA is the predominant supplier of brake wear sensors to the German car makers. BMW trusts BOWA almost exclusively for production and aftersales, shouldn't you?
