The Filipec family is one of the oldest Samobor families and we are well known as manufacturers of Bermet and Samobor Mustard which have been made in our family since the 19th century. The family was involved in the marketing and refinement of leather, and Bermet and Mustard were manufactured for private use.
After 1946, when most of the Josip Joco Filipec’s estate and the leather factory employing 30 workers were confiscated, he was left without any income. After finding himself in hardship, he began a commercial production of Bermet and Samobor Mustard which in time has become a trademark of Samobor.
