History
In 1953, a dairy plant was built at the farm „Lepušnica“ in Glogonjski Rit (rit means "swampy area") between Belgrade and Pančevo. That was the practical establishment of dairy industry Imlek.

In 1957, UNICEF granted a line for pasteurizing and bottling 30.000 liters of milk per day. In 1963, the production already exceeded 21 million liters a year. The company was the largest dairy industry in SFR Yugoslavia.
