History

The company was founded by two engineers in 1919, formally registered on January 24, 1921 under the name of 'Elektra'. It became a subsidiary of Siemens shortly after that same year. Following World War II, it was nationalised and renamed to Rade Končar, a communist resistance fighter, finally shortened to Končar in 1991.[7] Notable milestones for the company include the production and delivery of the first electric motor using a varnished wire in 1930, and in 1948 it produced its first generator.

Since then it produced over 400 thousand transformers, 700 generators and delivered around 200 units of rolling stock.[8]
