THE NOTE OF THE FOUNDER

Two very important events of our lives took place at the same place and time, in the end of September 2022, in our Belgrade: we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our wedding, and completed the ambitiously devised programme of the new institution in which we had invested five years of creativity, dedication, and love.
Two students met a long time ago, in August, in the University Library in Belgrade.
The two persons in love were married in their city in the autumn of the same year.
Developing our lives, thanks to the business success of the company Zepter International, we were also developing and donating to our people numerous ventures which have experienced long-year success and which are well-known. We have selflessly investing finances in culture, preservation of artistic heritage, education, medicine, environmental protection, sport, and international solidarity. Philanthropy is our prime mover and our principle.

We decided to share the blessing which followed us with others, selflessly, to the benefit of all. Madlena Art Palace is the sum of all my endeavor, heritage for the future, the crown which my husband and I place on a range of accomplishments such as: the Foundation for scientific, technical, and cultural projects, the Gallery, followed by the Zepter Museum, Madl`Art Auction House (which is celebrating 20 years of activity), the publishing company Zepter Book World, the Theatre and Opera Madlenianum, Creative Studio Zepter (film and TV production),  literary award Žensko pero awarded by the women’s magazine Politika Bazar, sponsorship of the award Dobričin prsten of the Association of Serbian Actors’ Organization for life-long achievements in acting, the Scholarship Fund for talented students and sports persons, as well as two prestigious awards of global renown – Prix Litteraire Europeen Madlena Zepter (for literature) and Zepter International Award Artzept for excellence in design and applied art, which has been awarded for 18 years.

It is logical that on such an important anniversary accounts should be settled, and that, without needless odes to oneself, one should deliberate the road travelled so far with utmost sincerity. And the road travelled by the Zepter Family i8s very exciting, not only because of business successes over the last 45 years, but also thanks to emotions experienced on the humane, cultural, and social level. The story of the Company is multiply interlaced with the lives and passions of its founders, Madlena and Philip, which is thus also the story on emotions and encounters. This is corroborated by dozens of awards which I personally received for my effort as the women on the year in many countries. To state but one of them, Eliff Island – Medal of honor, which I was awarded as one of the truly rare winners of non-American origin, for overall achievements in the area of philanthropy world-wide. In the end, let me proudly emphasize the most recent one – Legion of Honour awarded to me by France.

Everyday life needs to be complemented with quality and hard work. Health, beauty, and human welfare, environmentally-friendly products, services respecting the users, and a deep environmental awareness. The Zepter brand is, on the one hand, the epitome of top quality, and true passion for healthy and exclusive lifestyle on the other. This is certainly also expressed at the level of communication, starting from the important slogan: Live better – live longer.

The mission of the company Zepter International – global search for better quality life – spreads on all five continents. It makes impact on people from year to year. The Group has won awards throughput the world, for originality of design and excellent product quality as well as for use of most advanced production technologies.

It all started from one great and ambitious business idea – love for humankind and passion for success, as Philip Zepter, president of the company Zepter International, said on the occasion of its 45th anniversary. Our Company was built on these grounds and this s the fifth decade it has been operating with unchanged passion to achieve our mission.
