In 1952 the company OKK was founded and all operating coking plants were merged under one head office, having previously existed as separate state enterprises, except for the metallurgical coking plants (in the Ostrava quarter Vítkovice, in the cities of Třinec and Kladno, and the coking plant Nová Huť [New Smelting Works] founded in the same year).
