After world war ii, the thonet factory in bystřice pod hostýnem (czech republic) was nationalized by the state in the era of communism in czechoslovakia. In 1953, the company was officially renamed ton, which is an acronym for továrny na ohýbaný nábytek, meaning “bentwood furniture factory” in czech.
