HISTORY
The more than hundred-year-history of CHOCOLAND began as early as 1894 when its predecessor, the Kolín Factory, began to produce coffee substitutes - Kolín chicory, known throughout Austria-Hungary. The popularity of Kolín chicory products lasted until the 1950s, when the company, like many other in Czechoslovakia back then, was nationalized and became part of the food giant Čokoládovny.
Under the name Soja Kolín, the company specialized in processing soybeans and in the production of food semi-products, especially for other plants of Čokoládovny. Since the 1960s, the Kolín plant had the largest capacity to process soybeans intended for the preparation of human food products in Central Europe.
