The founder, the late Mr. Oscar Peschek, together with a handful of technicians, had managed to escape from the Nazi purge a few months before, after having been forcibly ejected from their famous Pischinger factory in Vienna. where for many years some of Europe's most famous specialities had been successfully manufactured.'[1]
