Franke UK launches new generation of hob extractors to target growth in the sector

Franke UK has introduced a new generation of hob extractors, adding 6 new models to its 2gether collection featuring cutting-edge technology and a raft of improvements. The company is strategically focusing on gaining a bigger share of the fast-growing hob extractor market with a suite of products that answer all cooking requirements, span different price points, and combine innovation, technology, and aesthetics into its most comprehensive collection to date. 

Craig McIntyre, MD of Franke UK, said: “We are currently rolling out Wave 2 of our hob extractor programme and it reflects a strategic evolution for us in design, functionality and performance.​ Although we have been offering hob extractors for a few years, this segment is still very much in its infancy here in the UK and we have done a lot of consumer research and talking to retailers to make sure we answer what the market wants from these products.

“We’ve developed an exciting new generation of hob extractors that will deliver exceptional performance across every model and detail. From refined aesthetics to advanced filtration systems, and optimised motor dimensions to enhanced overall performance, every element has been carefully engineered to elevate the user experience.​ Wave 2 is not just a continuation, it’s a transformation.”

The new hobs are designed and manufactured by Franke, together with its Air Expert, Faber. Three new models join the premium Mythos 2gether family with Supreme, Ultra Edge and Slide. The Slide model features an industry-exclusive and patented automatic flap opening to reveal the extractor. The hobs feature a matt black finish on the Slide and Ultra Edge models, ghost effect white controls, grids and cover systems, plus superior extraction power.​

The mid-range Maris 2gether has 2 new additions of Ellipse and Swing, while the value Smart 2gether range includes the new space-efficient Ellipse model which fits into a standard 60 cm cabinet. Compact and ergonomic, it combines maximum convenience with a sleek, refined aesthetic.​ All models are designed to provide powerful extraction for superior air quality.
