Giuseppe (Johanna) Pacchiaf, an Italian goldsmith, opened a 100-employee workshop in Gaberje, Celje in 1921 with two brothers, Alojz and Ivan Knez.
Following the World War II, the new government confiscated half the company's shares from the Pacchiaf's heir.
In 1999, it was taken over by the Albreht family through the AL Company, which provided capital for the brand's successful relaunch.
