History
The company started production at the end of the 1920s in Zagreb (Borongaj), where the main factory still remains. There is also a campus in the surroundings (University Campus Borongaj). The company's first factory was built here in 1929, as a branch of the Swiss company Wander AG to produce dietetic products.
In 1947, a new factory was built in Trogir; this facility was dedicated to the processing of plants and manufacturing of teas.
