obert Bosch GmbH extended its sales lead over rival Continental AG in Europe by 1 million euros last year. Bosch topped Automotive News Europe’s ranking of Europe’s Top 30 suppliers with sales of $18.3 billion. Continental was second last year with a European sales volume of $14.2 billion and France’s Faurecia SA finished No. 3 with sales of $12.0 billion in Europe. Bosch’s European sales lead over Continental grew to $4.1 billion last year from $3.1 billion in 2009. Bosch also finished 2010 as the world’s No. 1 supplier based on sales

with a global volume of $34.6 billion. In 2009, Bosch lost the top spot to Denso Corp., which slipped back to No. 2 in the 2010 ranking with sales of $32.9 billion. Overall, sales in Europe by suppliers in the top 30 increased by 11 percent last year to $140.3 billion from $125.5 billion in 2009. Climbing up BASF, a supplier of coatings, catalysts, engineered plastics and polyurethanes, climbed four spots to No. 10 in the 2010 ranking because of a 35 percent rise in sales to $5.2 billion. The German paint specialist entered the ranking at No. 14 in 2009 after boosting

sales 31 percent to $3.4 billion compared with 2008. Schaeffler Group, which is based in Herzogenaurach, southern Germany, jumped six spots to No. 24 in 2010. Schaeffler, a maker of anti-friction bearings as well as engine, chassis and transmission components that controls 49.9 percent of Continental's shares, increased European sales 31 percent to $2.1 billion compared with 2009. Suppliers provided most of the data for the ranking. Some companies' sales were estimated. The numbers do not include nonautomotive, aftermarket or heavy-duty truck sales. Sales are in dollars, translated when necessary from other currencies. ■
