Franke kitchen hood

Franke is a renowned Swiss brand specializing in high-quality kitchen systems and appliances, including the extractor hood pictured here. Founded in 1911 by Hermann Franke in Rorschach, Switzerland, the company has grown from a small sheet metal business into a global leader in kitchen architecture.

Today, Franke operates on a global scale with production facilities across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. While many of its premium items are still engineered and manufactured in Europe (specifically Italy and Switzerland for its Home Solutions division), its vast distribution network ensures products are localized for markets such as the Czech Republic. The brand is synonymous with durability and minimalist European design, maintaining its status as a top-tier provider for both residential and commercial kitchen solutions.
