Emil Stock

Emilio Stock (1868–1951) was an Italian industrialist and businessman of Jewish origin.

Stock's paternal Ashkenazi Jewish family originated from Frankfurt am Main, German Empire, while his maternal Sephardi Jewish family arrived in Split during Napoleonic era.

The new company obtained the franchise to construct a new liquor factory on the outskirts of Split (today part of the city).

The factory concession was subsequently challenged by the municipal prefect Vicko Mihaljević, ostensibly due to environmental issues, while some attributed the problem to a political conflict between the owners and the municipal authorities.

Disappointed by the withdrawal of the concession, Stock and Morpurgo went on to build the factory in Rovinj, Croatia.
