Akciju sabiedribas “Dzintars” vesture ir aizsakusies pagajuša
gadsimta vidu, kad, butiba, tika likti pamati parfimerijas un
kosmetikas rupniecibas nozarei Latvija. 1849. gada Riga tika
dibinata Heinriha Adolfa Brigera ziepju un parfimerijas fabrika,
kas ražoja ziepes, sveces un veica nenozimiga daudzuma smaržu un
odekolonu iepildišanu no Francijas ievestam gatavam
kompozicijam.
XIX gadsimta otraja puse un XX gadsimta sakuma dažadas Latvijas
pilsetas radas nelielas firmas, kas laboratorijas apstaklos
nodarbojas ar atsevišku parfimerijas un kosmetikas veidu ražošanu.
Tomer, vesturiska nozime var aplukot tikai dažas nozimigakas
firmas: Brigera ziepju un parfimerijas fabriku, A.Rimeika kimisko
fabriku (zobu pastas, kosmetiskie lidzekli, eglišu sveces),
A.Tomberga fabriku (smaržas, odekoloni, puderis) un Kikerta rupnicu
(tubas, smidzinataji korki). 1940. gada minetas fabrikas tiek
nacionalizetas un parveidotas par: ziepju un parfimerijas fabriku
“Sarkana Ausma” (bijusi Brigera fabrika), kimiska, svecu un tubinu
fabriku “Metra” (bijusi A.Rimeika fabrika), parfimerijas fabriku
“Flora” (bijusi A.Tomberga fabrika) un tubinu un kosmetikas fabriku
“Rota” (bijusi Kikerta rupnica).
1947. - 1951. gadu laika tika veikta parfimerijas un kosmetikas
rupniecibas nozares uznemumu reorganizacija un turpmaka
paplašinašana, apvienojot tos, un ta rezultata fabrikas “Flora” un
“Rota” tika likvidetas un izveidoti divi lielaki uznemumi: “Sarkana
Ausma” un “Metra”.
1951. gada junija fabrika “Metra” tiek parveidota par Rigas
kosmetikas fabriku “Dzintars”.

The history of the joint stock company „Dzintars” begins in the
middle of the 19th century. A.Briger’s soap and perfumery factory
was founded in Riga in 1849, producing soap, candles, and making
perfume and Eau de Cologne from ready made compositions from
France.
In the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the
20th century small companies sprung up in various Latvian towns,
producing several sorts of perfumery and cosmetics in the
laboratory conditions. But historically we can speak only of
several more or less important factories: A.Rimeik’s chemical
factory (toothpaste, cosmetic products, Christmas tree candles),
pharmaceutist’s A.Tomberg’s firms (perfume, Eau de Cologne, powder)
and V.Kikert’s firms (tubes, pulverizers for corks). These
companies existed this way untill 1940, when they were nationalized
and transformed to soap and perfumery factory „Sarcana Ausma”
(formerly A.Briger’s factory), chemical, candle and tube factory
„Metra” (formerly A.Rimeik’s factory), perfumery factory „Flora”
(formerly A.Tomberg’s factory) and tube-cosmetics factory „Rota”
(formerly V.Kikert’s factory). From 1947 to 1951 perfumery and
cosmetics manufacturing companies were reorganized and as a result
„Flora” and „Rota” factories were liquidated in favour of larger
companies - „Sarcana Ausma” and „Metra”. In 1951, June, company
„Metra” was renamed as Riga’s cosmetics factory „Dzintars”.
