Abstract

The Franck factory was founded in Zagreb on October 10, 1892. It was a family enterprise of the German- Austrian industrialists Franck, intent to provide coffee substitutes for the western parts of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the Balkans.
The factory could not last without adapting to the changing administrative and political environments. After the dissipation of the Empire, the Franck became an independent enterprise, no longer connected to other Franck factories. In 1920, it became a shareholder's company with a changed name. Following the great world economic crisis, the factory became part of the great German concern Internationale Nahrungs-und Genussmittel A. G., producing during the "World "War II mostly for the military needs. I n 1945., the factory became the state-owned enterprise.
