Gavrilović is a Croatian food processing company specializing in meats such as sausages and salami. The company is based in Petrinja, Croatia and can trace its history there as far back as 1690. The precursor to the modern company began in 1690, when Ivan and Petar Gavrilović began a craft of selling meat in Petrinja. During 1775, the family of Gavrilović are mentioned as one of the founders of the butcher's guild, and at the beginning of the 19th century, they are referenced as the main supplier of Napoleon's army. The company itself was founded in 1821, being granted the concession for manufacture to supply the barracks of the Croatian Military Frontier, and its existing processes were expanded. It operated as a family company under the name "Mate Gavrilović i drug", renamed in 1889 as "Prva hrvatska tvornica salame, sušena mesa i masti" with about 50 employees. In 1883, it began producing its trademark winter salami variously known as hrvatska salama or gavrilovićka. It was eventually incorporated as a limited liability company (d.o.o) during its modernization process in 1902 and began exporting its products to other countries such as Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, Palestine and Egypt. After two decades, it began producing canned food and prepared food and following its nationalization after World War II by the Communist authorities of Yugoslavia, it was again renamed to "Gavrilović". By then it grew into a company employing 4500 people, opening its first shops in Zagreb and exporting to France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, England and Austria. During the 60s, it also began exporting to the United States. In 1991, the company was given back to Đuro (Georg) Gavrilović. More information...
