Bosch Power Tools has officially announced its new EXPERT product line for power tools and measuring tools. EXPERT power tools and measuring tools from Bosch Professional are available at selected distributors from 2026. We in the legal team of Bosch Power Tools (Mueller Randolf Charlotte Köpp Dr. Nicolai Ticic Markus Kring Michael C.) together with Bosch's head of antitrust law Dr. Mathias Traub have been closely involved in advising on the launch of this new product line and in designing the selective distribution system accompanying it. A big THANK YOU to our colleagues in our regional legal teams for their great support in this project (Margarida Baptista belen martin Atalissa Laura NAU Massimiliano Petti Radim Ranic Brigitte Studer Rian Boll Diederic GOTZEN Małgorzata Czerwińska-Kasprzak Nadja Schmitt Christa Jørgensen Valeria Miani Adriana Stănescu Peter Kollath). I already miss the numerous project meetings we had in our Expert selective distribution project team with Victoria Lindner, Verena Pirzer and Matthias Conzelmann. You truly rock this place! Dear Dr. Mathias Traub, I believe that this actually would be the perfect moment to grab two drinks at the next METRO wholesale market before we dive into our upcoming joint projects - unfortunately I do not have a "Gewerbeschein" to get into one of their stores... so let’s say the good old Schwabengarten will have to do. Invitation’s on me!
