Kanglica za mleko ( 2 litra ), Westen Celje , začetek 20 . stoletja . Podjetje Emo ima bogato zgodovino . Adolf Westen , doma iz Vestfalije , je leta 1894 v Celju ustanovil kovinarsko podjetje za proizvodnjo posode . V njegovi tovarni so izdelovali raznovrstno emajlirano , pocinkano , pokositreno ter brušeno hišno in kuhinjsko posodo , kotle in posode za vodo ter jeklene radiatorje in emajlirane reklamne table . Tovarna je doživela bliskovit razvoj po letu 1918 , saj je bila edina te vrste v tedanji Jugoslaviji . Z izdelki niso oskrbovali le domačega tržišča , ampak so veliko izvažali zlasti na Balkan in Bližnji vzhod .

Po drugi svetovni vojni je podjetje prešlo v državno last in delovalo pod blagovno znamko Emo ( zaščitni znak dveh levov je bil mednarodno registriran leta 1928 ). Osnovni proizvodni program je še vedno predstavljala emajlirana posoda , ki so jo prodajali v kar petindvajset držav . Danes jo podjetje , sicer v manjšem obsegu , še vedno izdeluje .
A two-litre milk churn , Westen Celje , early 20th century . The company Emo has a rich history . Adolf Westen , originally from Westphalia , founded a metal cookware company in Celje in 1894 . His factory produced a wide range of enamel , galvanized , tinplate , and brushed kitchen- and cookware , boilers and water tanks , as well as steel radiators and enamel billboards . It developed rapidly after 1918 , being the only one of its kind in then Yugoslavia . Emo supplied the domestic market and exported extensively , particularly to the Balkans and the Middle East .
After World War II , the company was nationalised and ran the business under the Emo trademark ( the two-lion trademark was registered internationally in 1928 ). Its core product range remained enamel cookware , sold to 25 countries . It has been , although on a smaller scale , manufactured to this day .
