History edit

In the 1980s, Philip Zepter along with his wife left Belgrade and moved to Austria.[2] There, Zepter worked as distributor of German kitchen utensil manufacturer "AMC International AG" and soon became one of the company's executives. After five years of working in "AMC International AG", he invented special utensil cover and patented as "Zepter utensils".[2] In 1986, Zepter along with his wife founded "Zepter International" and in the following years made a breakthrough in the market.[2]

Zepter International began distributing worldwide stainless steel cookware and tableware accessories, manufactured in its own plant in Milan, Italy since 1990.[2] In 1996, Zepter Group acquired two companies, based in Switzerland, and thus branched out into the markets of light therapy medical devices (by the purchase of Bioptron AG, Wollerau and cosmetics (through Intercosmetica Neuchâtel SA, Neuchâtel).

After these investments the company's headquarters moved to Switzerland. Later on "Zepter Finance Holding AG" was established, providing services in the fields of private pensions, health care, insurance and property. As of 2016, "Zepter International" has operations in more than 60 countries worldwide.[1] In June 2017, the company celebrated its 30-year anniversary.[3]
