Willi Bruckbauer is at the heart of BORA – the visionary, creative mind and driving force behind the groundbreaking cooktop extractor systems. With over 20 years of experience in the kitchen sector, the qualified master carpenter knows what people want from modern kitchens: to create a living space that meets the needs of the individual and makes them happy. Every day.

Extractor hoods are simply not part of this picture: they are loud, ineffective and visibly intrusive. They also restrict the possibilities when designing a kitchen. Willi Bruckbauer’s vision was to invent an effective vapour extraction system that meets the highest standards in terms of both technology and aesthetic appeal. Thanks to continuous experimentation and discovery, an innovative system was devised that draws off cooking vapours more effectively than ever before possible. 

Instead of letting cooking vapours and odours rise in the first place, BORA cooktop extractors draw them away where they are created, directly extracting them from the pot, roaster, pan or grill on the cooktop. And they do this not by magic but by applying the basic principles of fluid mechanics. For this BORA simply uses a cross flow which is greater than the speed at which the cooking vapours rise.

Having developed the revolutionary BORA extraction technology, we are now using steam in its finest form – for cooking. The BORA X BO – the steam oven and professional appliance for the household sector – is bringing the new comfort of cooking into the kitchen.

With BORA refrigeration and freezing systems you effectively store food for long-lasting freshness and keep it systematically arranged. The different refrigerator variations as well as the freezer are characterised by elegant design, with high-quality and carefully thought-out components for the interior.
