Founder of Bora Willi Bruckbauer stated: “I’ve always wanted to roll out the concept of hood-free kitchens internationally; we’ve long since dreamed of the end of the extractor hood.
“Now, we’ve made huge progress towards achieving a global approach.”
Bruckbauer explained: “Together, we’ll significantly speed up the market changes.
“Bora, as an international pacemaker for innovation and an international synonym for cooktop extractors, and Whirlpool Corporation, as one of the market leaders in the USA and Canada, each contribute their own strengths to this strategic partnership.
“As such, the markets will also come to be enriched by jointly developed products.”
