Iskra developed from the SPRAD and a sole Kranj-based factory, a former subsidiary of the Luftfahrtgerätewerk Berlin. [1]
In 1946, Mirjan Gruden renamed Strojne tovarne Kranj to Iskra (in Slovenian: Spark).[2]
One year after it was established, Iskra developed its first switch, followed by its first FM antenna, capacitor, and then one of the key milestones in Iskra's success – the establishment of its design department. In 1962, this was the first industrial design department in Yugoslavia.[3][4]
The bureau for railway automation, BAŽ, was founded.
In the 1970s, Iskra developed into the largest Yugoslav company for electromechanics, telecommunications, electronics and automation,[5] proving itself time and time again with exceptional industrial design in telephony, measuring instruments, and machinery. At the start of the 1990s, Iskra's logo was on all electrical devices, and the product portfolio was expanded with measuring instruments, short-wave navy radio receivers, drilling machines, movie projectors, etc.[citation needed]
