History

In 1896, the South Hungarian Hat Factory was founded by Phillip Lustein and Wilhelm Keller. The city of Temesvár provided the land free of charge, granted a 10-year tax exemption and even paid a wage subsidy for the employees. The factory was built between 1899 and 1900 according to the plans of Reiter Ede. The factory had 500 employees, most of them women.
