Since 2012, the company "Bork" has risen to the top of the rating of sales of small household appliances, namely juicers and grills.

The company is registered in Germany. The official name is "BORK Electronic GmbH". Therefore, until about 2014, the German image was mostly exploited.

When the "Bork" just appeared, it was a wholesale company, not a manufacturer.

A design suitable for Russian families is being developed in Russia, but the equipment is manufactured in China, Eastern Europe, Turkey and other countries that are OEMs (original equipment manufacturer - ed.).

Recently, parts manufactured in the developed countries of Western Europe have also been used: Italy and France. The company plans to continue to follow the concept, which is to familiarize Russian families with the best technology, which was specially designed and manufactured for them.
