He was the CEO and owner of the company Zwack. Zwack is a Budapest Hungary based company that makes liqueurs and spirits. The company produces an 80 proof 40% alcohol herbal liqueur known as Unicum from a secret blend of more than forty different herbs and spices. Unicum is known as one of the national drinks of Hungary.During World War II the Zwack factory was damaged and production stopped. After the war the factory was nationalized in 1948 by the communist Hungarian Working People's Party. The Zwack family fled the country. J�nos Zwack with his son P�ter Zwack great grandson of J�zsef was able to escape with the original Zwack recipe. B�la Zwack remained behind to give the communist government a fake Zwack recipe and went on to become a regular factory worker. Meanwhile J�nos and P�ter migrated to the United States eventually settling in the Bronx in 1949 when P�ter was 22 years old.In 1988 just one year before the fall of Communism P�ter Zwack returned to Hungary and resumed production with the original Zwack formula. He repurchased his family business from the State in the summer of 1989 and by the spring of 1990 the original Zwack product was reintroduced to the Hungarian market. That same year P�ter was named Hungarian Ambassador to the United States. wiki. Kalocsa: Kiado, 1995. hardcover
