In 1986, he founded his company “Zepter International” in Linz (Austria). The company produces and makes kitchen utensils in stainless steel alloy.[2][3] Today, the company has an annual turnover of around one billion euros, and has subsidiaries in some 40 countries.[4][5] The group has extended its field of activity to the medical and cosmetic world as well as to other areas: insurance, banking, real estate and hotels.[6][7]

Political activities

[edit]

Relationship with political power

[edit]

Philip Zepter was one of the first and among the most important supporters of Zoran Đinđić, Prime Minister of Serbia from 2001 to 2003 and promoter of important economic and liberal political reforms in his country.

Zepter continued his active support for Đinđić's pro-reform, democratic agenda, once saying that Đinđić was "a glimpse of bright light in the general hopelessness."[13]

Litigation with the International Crisis Group

[edit]

In 2003, one of the reports of the International Crisis Group attributed the deceleration of Serbian reform to "the financial structures of the Milošević era" which had become "a new oligarchy" financing various parties and influencing, de facto, government decisions. It mentions the name of Philip Zepter who is said to be among those who have benefited from "special informal monopolies" in exchange for their support for the Milošević regime.

A defamation action was brought before the American courts.[14] On May 10, 2016, the D.C. Circuit dismissed the applicant.[15] According to Judge Rogers, Philip Zepter was indeed an advisor and financial support to Đinđić.

Evidence shows that he was "willingly" involved in a reform process in Serbia. Moreover, the plaintiff does not deny having paid more than 100,000 dollars to a lobbyist to help the government of Đinđić to improve its relations with the United States, “efforts which led (...) to cancel two-thirds of Serbia's external debt”. The allegations of attempted extortion on the part of the author of the writing were also dismissed.[16][17]

Having adopted the "Zepter" inspired by a luxury writing instrument brand, he established the firm in 1986 amid the economic challenges of and expanded it globally through strategies and acquisitions, including the Swiss firm Bioptron AG in 1996 for advanced medical technologies. Zepter is also noted for philanthropic efforts in health promotion and education, earning the in 2011—one of few awarded to non-U.S. citizens—for contributions benefiting global society. His career has faced scrutiny over alleged financial support for the regime during the 1990s Balkan conflicts, ties he has rejected; subsequent defamation lawsuits against critics, including the , were dismissed by U.S. courts, citing his status and lack of provable malice.

Early Life and Education

Origins and Name Change

Philip Zepter was born Milan Janković on 23 November 1950 in Bosanska Dubica (also known as Kozarska Dubica), a town then in the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia and now in . He was raised in a Serbian family in the region. Janković adopted the name Philip Zepter later in life, changing both his given and family names to align with the branding of his business enterprise, , which he had founded under that name in 1986; he described the decision as spontaneous, stemming from a deep personal identification with the company's achievements and global presence. Legal documents from the 2000s consistently refer to him as Milan Janković, also known as Philip Zepter, confirming the did not alter his legal recognition in certain contexts.

Formal Education and Initial Influences

Philip Zepter, born Milan Janković on November 23, 1950, in Kozarska Dubica, (now ), completed his primary schooling in his hometown before advancing to at the local high school in Bosanska Dubica. His early schooling was characterized by a rigorous regimen emphasizing and , fostering discipline amid the socio-economic constraints of post-World War II . Zepter then pursued higher education at the Faculty of Economics, , graduating with a degree in . This formal training in economic principles provided foundational knowledge that later informed his entrepreneurial ventures, though he established his first business endeavors shortly after graduation, reflecting an early orientation toward practical application over extended academic pursuits. Initial influences appear to stem primarily from this structured educational environment and the self-reliant ethos of his rural upbringing, where limited access to modern —such as first encountering a television in his late teens—contrasted with emerging global opportunities he later exploited.

Founding and Development of Zepter International

Establishment in and Early Operations

was founded in by Philip Zepter in , , where the company's initial headquarters were established. As a privately owned enterprise, it began as a single business unit dedicated to high-quality consumer goods, with Zepter serving as founder and chairman. Early operations centered on the production and distribution of premium cookware, designed for healthier cooking through innovative alloys and waterless methods. The first manufacturing plant was located in , , producing top-quality kitchen utensils that emphasized durability and nutritional retention. Sales were primarily handled through the company's own direct sales network, supplemented by placements in high-end stores, enabling demonstrations of product efficacy to build consumer trust. This model facilitated initial market penetration in , leveraging personal selling to highlight the cookware's scientific advantages over conventional alternatives. By the late 1980s, these foundations supported steady growth, with operations expanding from and to neighboring markets, while maintaining a focus on and exclusive distribution channels. The company's emphasis on and healthy living, as articulated by Zepter, differentiated it from competitors and set the stage for broader product lines.

Product Diversification and Global Expansion

Zepter International began operations in 1986 primarily focused on manufacturing and distributing high-end cookware, leveraging direct sales to establish its initial market presence. Over the following decades, the company diversified its offerings beyond kitchenware to encompass medically certified devices like the BIOPTRON Hyperlight Therapy System for applications, advanced water and air purification systems, , and a range of and products designed for consumer wellness. This expansion into health-related technologies and personal care items reflected a strategic shift toward premium, science-backed consumer goods, with production supported by facilities in , , and . By integrating these lines, Zepter aimed to address broader lifestyle needs, maintaining emphasis on quality materials and proprietary innovations such as vacuum cooking methods in its core cookware. Further product diversification extended into luxury sectors, including the establishment of ZeptAir for high-end services and Philip Zepter Yachts Ltd. for manufacturing and sales. In 2019, Zepter joined a to acquire Italian shipyard Wider Yachts, bolstering its division with enhanced production capabilities for superyachts up to 50 meters in length. These ventures complemented the core consumer portfolio, creating a multi-branded ecosystem that spans household essentials to elite experiential products, all distributed through a network of over 60 countries across five continents. Global expansion accelerated post-founding, with Zepter establishing eight manufacturing sites and over 320,000 square meters of operational space in key international hubs by the early . Entry into emerging markets included a investment in India's Trading for wholesale distribution of its full product range, marking a foothold in amid growing demand for premium direct-sales goods. Operations now span , , and the , supported by localized sales teams and facilities that enable adaptation to regional preferences while upholding centralized quality controls. This international footprint has sustained annual revenues in the multi-billion-dollar range, driven by a model prioritizing exclusive distribution over mass retail.

Business Model: Multilevel Marketing and Manufacturing

Zepter International employs a vertically integrated that combines in-house of premium consumer with distribution primarily through a direct network featuring independent consultants. This approach allows the company to control production quality while leveraging a decentralized force to reach consumers without traditional retail intermediaries. Founded in 1986, the company produces items such as cookware, medical devices, air and systems, and , emphasizing health-oriented technologies protected by over 700 patents. Manufacturing operations are concentrated in eight factories spanning over 400,000 square meters in , , and , enabling the production of high-end goods like the Cookware range, which uses specialized for , and the BIOPTRON Hyperlight System, certified for medical applications. Additional production for cosmetics occurs in an integrated facility in , , situated in an ecological environment to support paraben-free formulations. This self-manufacturing strategy supports claims of superior quality and innovation, with products distributed in 60 countries via the company's network. The sales component relies on a structure, where over 100,000 consultants act as independent sellers who earn commissions from personal sales and potentially from recruiting and managing downline distributors, fostering network expansion. Company materials describe this as an "innovative direct sales model" offering lifetime income opportunities and , with a compensation plan highlighted for its market-leading rewards tied to sales volume and team performance. Independent analyses, such as a report, explicitly characterize Zepter as a multilevel marketing empire generating substantial revenue—estimated at $1 billion annually at the time—through this hybrid of manufacturing and distributor-driven sales.

Political Engagements and Disputes

Ties to Serbian Politics During Milosevic Era

During Slobodan Milošević's rule from 1989 to 2000, Philip Zepter operated businesses in , including Zepter Banka, which was subject to U.S. asset freezes under 13047 due to its location in a sanctioned , though no evidence indicated personal support for the regime or receipt of favors in exchange. Zepter's primary expansion occurred abroad, with founded in in 1986 and headquartered in , allowing operations in over 40 countries while navigating sanctions that restricted Serbian trade. Following Milošević's ouster in October 2000, the (ICG) published reports, including Report 145 in July 2003, alleging Zepter was a "crony" who financed parallel structures, profited from informal monopolies, and engaged in unproven activities like or weapons-related dealings via ties to state security figures. These claims drew on confidential sources, Serbian media reports from 2001, and interpretations of the OFAC list and potential EU visa restrictions, but lacked direct substantiation and were later withdrawn by ICG, which removed the report. Zepter consistently denied any alliance with Milošević, asserting no personal relationship or political involvement during the , during which he resided in and avoided Serbian politics amid the dictatorship's isolation. U.S. courts in subsequent suits against ICG, including appeals through 2016, ruled the statements protected as opinion amid public debate on Serbia's reforms but did not affirm their factual accuracy, noting Zepter's post-2000 advocacy for as evidence of his limited-purpose status without resolving regime-support claims. No verified evidence has emerged of direct political contributions or endorsements to Milošević, contrasting with Zepter's documented financial backing of reformist Zoran Đinđić after 2000, including millions in party funding and U.S. to lift sanctions.

Defamation Lawsuit Against International Crisis Group

In July 2003, the International Crisis Group (ICG), a Brussels-based think tank focused on conflict prevention, published Europe Report No. 145, titled "Serbian Reform Stalls Again." The report analyzed obstacles to post-Milošević reforms in Serbia, including economic dependencies on entities from the prior regime, and stated that Zepter Banka—a financial institution linked to Milan Jankovic, who operates under the name Philip Zepter—"gave support to Milosevic" and that its U.S. assets had been frozen by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) due to those ties. These passages, along with two others implying continuity of Milošević-era influence through such entities, formed the basis of Zepter's claims that the ICG had defamed him by falsely portraying him personally as a regime supporter involved in obstructing democratic transition. Jankovic, alongside affiliated entities Fieldpoint B.V. and United Business Activities Holding A.G., initiated a against the ICG and unnamed defendants in the U.S. District Court for of Columbia on June 25, 2004, asserting based on the report's alleged harm to his U.S. business interests and the ICG's American operations. He contended the statements were false, as Zepter Banka had ceased operations before Milošević's fall, no personal assets of his were frozen, and the ICG relied on unverified sources without distinguishing corporate from individual actions. The suit sought damages exceeding $110 million, an injunction against further distribution of the report, and a retraction. The district court dismissed portions of the complaint in 2006 for lack of over foreign ICG elements and failure to state a claim, rulings affirmed by the D.C. Circuit in 2007, which held that references to "Zepter companies" did not inherently defame Jankovic individually. Remaining claims proceeded, but in 2011, another D.C. Circuit panel affirmed dismissal of additional counts, noting the report's context of opinion on matters rather than verifiable fact, and rejecting arguments that the statements implied criminality without fair report privilege protections. On November 4, 2014, the district granted to the ICG on the surviving claims from Report 145, finding the statements not capable of defamatory meaning as they described institutional rather than personal conduct, and protected as rhetorical in a . The D.C. Circuit affirmed this in May 2016, classifying Jankovic as a limited-purpose due to his voluntary involvement in Serbian economic and political discourse—including prior media engagements on his business ties—thus requiring proof of , which evidence of ICG's research process (drawing from OFAC actions and contemporaneous analyses) failed to substantiate. The U.S. denied on June 26, 2017, concluding the litigation. The OFAC freezing of Zepter Banka assets in 1994–1995, cited in the report, stemmed from targeting Yugoslav entities under Milošević, though Jankovic maintained these were corporate sanctions not extending to him personally.

Offshore Structures and Panama Papers Scrutiny

In 2016, the —a leak of over 11.5 million documents from the Panamanian law firm —revealed that Philip Zepter, under his business alias Filip Cepter, had incorporated offshore entities in multiple tax havens, including the , , and . These structures were established to support the global expansion of , which by the 1990s operated in over 40 countries with a model requiring cross-border and tax planning. Swiss lawyer Alain Bionda, a former oil trader with ties to international commodity dealings, collaborated with Mossack Fonseca to form these companies on Zepter's behalf and acted as a director in several of them. Bionda's involvement dated back to the early 1990s, aligning with Zepter's relocation to in 1986 and subsequent buildup of a European amid Yugoslavia's and instability. The disclosures drew media attention due to Zepter's status as one of Serbia's wealthiest individuals and his historical business activities during the Milošević regime, though no of illicit fund transfers or sanctions violations linked to these entities emerged from the leaks. The offshore arrangements exemplified common practices among multinational executives for risk mitigation, intellectual property holding, and fiscal efficiency in low-tax jurisdictions, rather than unique to Zepter's operations. Investigative outlets like the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) noted the structures but highlighted broader patterns among Balkan businessmen, without substantiating claims of wrongdoing specific to Zepter. Subsequent scrutiny in Serbian media and international reports focused on potential opacity in , prompting calls for greater transparency in Serbia's post-Milošević economic reforms, yet Zepter faced no formal investigations or penalties stemming from the revelations.

Philanthropic and Cultural Contributions

Philip Zepter, alongside his wife , has channeled significant funds into Serbian cultural institutions, including the establishment of the Zepter Museum in , Serbia's first private , which opened on December 20, 2010, and houses over 350 works of contemporary Serbian art while hosting exhibitions and cultural events. The couple also founded the Madlenianum and Theatre in 2010, described as the largest personal cultural donation in Serbian history, featuring performances of , theater, and to promote national artistic heritage. These initiatives, supported by the Zepter Foundation, have collectively received over €85 million in direct grants for cultural, scientific, and artistic purposes as of Zepter's statements in media interviews. In the economic domain, Zepter has invested more than €250 million in business ventures within , including manufacturing and sales operations for , which employs local workers and contributes to the consumer goods sector through production of products like cookware and . The company's Serbian subsidiary has further supported economic resilience by donating €45,000 to health institutions during the in 2020, aiding operational continuity in medical facilities. Additionally, Zepter-backed entities have pursued developments, such as the planned luxury residential complex by Zepter Shipyard Immo on the River embankment in , registered for ownership in 2024 to stimulate urban investment. These cultural and economic commitments align with Zepter's broader model, often tied to his company's success, though critics have noted potential overlaps with political networks during earlier eras; however, documented figures emphasize private funding without state subsidies for the and projects.

BIOPTRON devices, including models like MedAll and Pro 1, have been integrated into healthcare facilities globally for applications in and post-operative recovery. The initiative received recognition at the European Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine Congress, earning first prize in 2014 and additional trophies in 2014-2015 for its contributions to anti-aging and medical . Zepter International has also partnered as a general sponsor of the Vize 97 Foundation, dedicated to prevention through early screening and awareness programs in and potentially beyond. Company efforts extend to supporting hospitals, clinics, and institutions via equipment donations and funding to advance treatment innovations, aligning with Zepter's overarching philosophy of excellence. These activities contributed to Zepter receiving the in 2011, awarded for sustained philanthropic impact on and humanitarian welfare.
