Raubling. BORA Lüftungstechnik GmbH, a manufacturer of innovative cooktop extractor fans, won the competition as one of the TOP 100 most innovative companies amongst Germany’s mid-sized companies. The awards ceremony was hosted by mentor Ranga Yogeshwar during the 5th German SME Summit on 29 June in Ludwigsburg. The analysis was carried out under the scientific direction of Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke as part of the 25th Annual Report. During an independent selection process, BORA particularly impressed with its innovation success―as the jury clearly pointed out.

"We feel that this award validates our achievements in convincing product developments and our innovative strength. It is a further incentive for us to continue our pioneering work through which we were able to develop a huge market," says Willi Bruckbauer, founder and CEO of BORA. In addition to several design and brand awards, the award of the innovation competition "365 Orte im Land der Ideen" and the Founder's Award awarded in 2010, another innovation award now allows BORA to look back on the rapid company and product development since its foundation in 2007. "You have to be passionate in what you are doing. I always believed in my idea of "the end of the cooker hood" and was convinced we would be successful right from the start," says the founder from the Bavarian town of Raubling near Rosenheim. He even proved to be innovative in brand management and in his enthusiasm for international cycle racing. The BORA - Hansgrohe team ranks among the strongest teams in the "UCI WorldTour", and is known even beyond the 58 countries in which BORA is already marketed today.
