BORA Kitchen Systems

BORA is a premium German kitchen appliance manufacturer, best known for revolutionising the industry with its innovative cooktop extractor systems. Unlike traditional extractor hoods that rise above the cooking surface, BORA's technology draws vapours and odours downwards directly from the pot or pan. This 'downdraft' method has made the brand a leader in modern kitchen design, allowing for open-plan living and obstruction-free views.

The brand was established by Willi Bruckbauer, who sought to eliminate the physical and acoustic limitations of conventional kitchen ventilation. Today, BORA remains an independent enterprise with a strong commitment to European manufacturing, keeping its production and assembly lines primarily within Germany and Austria to ensure high precision and quality control. The company continues to expand its portfolio to include ovens and cooling systems, maintaining its status as a high-end disruptor in the built-in appliance market.
