“The ventilation system is the vacuum cleaner; we’re the brush”: That’s how Eggl describes his role in commercial kitchen ventilation. The specialist manufactures stainless-steel range hoods and ventilation ceilings, with the very first part produced going directly to the customer. This is made possible by a seamless workflow using SolidWorks and SPI SheetMetalWorks.

At first glance, a range hood above the cooking island in a large cafeteria seems to have little in common with a black-lacquered designer hood with brass fittings in an exclusive show kitchen. Eggl GmbH in Plattling manufactures both: robust standard products as well as custom-made designs—all made entirely of stainless steel and produced entirely in-house. Since its founding by Roland Eggl in 1994, the Lower Bavarian specialist has been supplying kitchen fit-out companies and ventilation contractors with range hoods, induction hoods, large-area hoods, and ventilation ceilings. This includes the full range of services: airflow calculation, planning, manufacturing, delivery, and installation. As a co-owner, Christa Dietz shares responsibility for managing the company.
