"Bosch, a supplier of building and industrial technology and consumer goods, markets its products in Iran through contract partners, according to its website, but does not have an office in Iran. 'We're doing very little business and this is handled through Turkey,' said Christian Fromek, a company spokesman. 'Our businesses have a civil purpose in providing auto components as well as consumer goods, such power tools and spark plugs. All of our activities respect current regulations in place.'"  The company has received $90.3 million in revenue and benefits from the US government for their investments in Iran during 2000-2009.  The company's activities in Iran are currently active.  (The New York Times, "Profiting from Iran, and the US," 3/6/2010)
