The Subsidiary in Zamdorf

Product presentation by the canning factory Johs. Eckart in Zamdorf, 1915, colorized afterwards.

It was in 1906 that Friedrich’s younger brother Otto (1877 to 1942) joined the company. In 1907, the brothers’ uncle, Friedrich Eckart, died and bequeathed to them his asphalt factory in Zamdorf, a district of Munich. This is where, from 1910, Friedrich and Otto established a subsidiary of the canning factory at Jakobsplatz 3. Over time, more and more new machines were added, so that the facility was state-of-the-art in no time. The steadily growing production of canned meat was also transferred to Zamdorf. With land purchases, the fields in Zamdorf were extended to eleven hectares. Otto and Fritz concentrated on growing peas, beans, and various fruit trees.
