BSH Home Appliances and ECOVACS Forge Strategic Alliance for Innovative Floor Cleaning Solutions

Strategic Partnership Between BSH and ECOVACS

On September 5, 2025, at the renowned IFA trade show in Munich, BSH Home Appliances Group announced a groundbreaking global partnership with ECOVACS ROBOTICS. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the cleaning robotics market by combining the strengths, expertise, and innovative capabilities of both companies. The ultimate goal is to develop advanced and smart solutions for integrated floor cleaning that cater to consumer needs effectively.

BSH, a prominent player in the home appliance industry, has a proven track record in delivering high-quality products globally. ECOVACS, known for its leadership in service robotics, complements BSH’s expertise with its cutting-edge robotics technologies. Together, they are set to create a new category in the service robotics sector while enhancing their respective product lines.

Hendrik Kretzer, Executive Vice President of BSH, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Teaming up with ECOVACS is a critical step for us as we enhance our offering of cleaning robots. We believe that blending our extensive experience in high-quality home appliances with ECOVACS's robotic innovations can genuinely deliver added value to consumers. We are eager to shape the future of floor-cleaning robots together."

David Qian Cheng, CEO of ECOVACS ROBOTICS, emphasized the shared vision of both companies. "Our mission is 'Robotics for Everyone.' Collaborating with BSH will allow us to integrate ECOVACS's technology into kitchen environments, thus paving the way for pioneering innovations in the industry. This strong alliance stems from our mutual understanding of consumer demands and a dedicated commitment to product quality. Together, we stand as leaders in our fields, focused on bringing innovative robotics to life."

The first product emerging from this collaboration is the world’s first built-in vacuum and mopping robot, designed by Bosch in partnership with ECOVACS. This innovative robot was showcased at IFA and is set to hit European stores in spring 2026. It represents an unprecedented advancement in home cleaning systems, as it seamlessly integrates into kitchen cabinetry. The complete servicing station connects directly to fresh water and power supplies and performs self-cleaning processes hidden from view.

With all components fitting neatly under the kitchen sink, valuable space is left for standard waste disposal systems. This cutting-edge design not only emphasizes aesthetic appeal but also enhances user convenience by automating chores typically handled manually by homeowners.

The collaboration is poised to set new standards for quality, innovation, and convenience within the smart home appliance realm. As both companies leverage their market access and technological know-how, consumers can eagerly anticipate groundbreaking advancements in robotic cleaning solutions that fulfill their evolving needs.
