Initially founded by engineer August Havel in 1953, Havel Metal Spinning was taken over by his son Branko in 1989, and today is run by Branko’s son-in-law Dražen Radotović and his son Luka, the fourth generation of metalworkers in the same location in Vlaška ulica, Zagreb. As the only metal spinning workshop left in the city centre, Havel is protected as intangible cultural heritage by the City of Zagreb. The workshop initially supplied semi-finished products and goods for Yugoslav factories during the 1970s and 1980s, but since the decline of industrial production they have focused on making and selling their own products. Today the workshop produces metal parts on request and is best known for the production of džezvas.
