Elikor

Elikor is a Russia-based producer of kitchen hoods and air cleaners. Elikor was established in 1995, and in June 2017, the company became a part of the Franke Group, which is headquartered in Switzerland, by merging with the Italian manufacturer of hoods, the FABER group.

The acquisition of a majority stake in the company by Franke is a growth strategy for its kitchen range hood sector. The partnership allowed Elikor to produce cooker hoods not just under the Elikor brand, but also under the brands of global manufacturers for Russian and international markets. Elikor hoods are Russian-made with Italian and Swiss creative design, in both contemporary and traditional designs. The products are equipped with Italian fans. In addition to Russia and the CIS countries, the company's products are sold in the countries of the Near Abroad and Europe.

Franke group aims to reinforce its global presence, production capacities, and the research and development competencies of its subsidiary, Faber. Elikor is slated to expand the Franke Group’s portfolio of brands, and Faber will offer support to reinforce Elikor as a production site and a research and development center.
