MT. PROSPECT, Ill., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Bosch Power Tools has doubled down on its commitment to jobsite innovation by announcing 60 new products that will launch following their debut at the 2026 World of Concrete tradeshow. The brand is unveiling robust solutions for workers in three key categories: a fully integrated concrete portfolio, a new EXPERT 18V platform and major expansions into outdoor power equipment and modular storage.

"There's no better place to debut Bosch's 2026 product lineup than World of Concrete - we can't wait to get it in the hands of real workers," said John Paul Marcantonio, North American President and CEO for Bosch Power Tools.

Now in its second year, the witty platform continues to celebrate the grit, skill and pride of trade professionals, showing that when the tools deliver, workers do too.

"'Like a Bosch' sparked such a meaningful dialogue with and for the trades when it debuted last year, it was essential for us to build on that," said Allison Fishman, Vice President of Marketing at Bosch Power Tools. "In 2026, the campaign taps into the powerful, transformative feeling workers get when they pick up and use a Bosch tool. It's an impactful moment when they begin to work 'Like a Bosch.'"
