In 1923, the entrepreneur Franc Kocjančič and the businessman Franc Gutman established a limited liability company called Kocjančič & drug, and commenced packaging hygienic products and producing women’s sanitary pads in one of the buildings of the Količevo Paper Mill that same year. By 1925, they had already employed 15 workers. 

In 1929, Franc Kocjančič purchased the facilities of the Kartonaža plant and the printing factory at Vir, and soon moved the operations from Količevo to Vir where it has remained until the present day. After establishing a factory at Vir, the company began to rapidly expand its production capacities by purchasing carding and weaving machines and new facilities. At Mekinje pri Kamniku, the company set up a bleaching plant, a preparation plant and a weaving plant with 31 employees. The company already employed around 100 workers before the war.
