Opekta was a company in Germany that produced fruit pectin, a gelling agent used in making jams and jellies. It was also the company where Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank, worked and where Anne and her family hid during World War II.
The Dutch Opekta Company was a business founded in the early 20th century by Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank. It specialized in the production of pectin, a substance used as a gelling agent in food, particularly for making jams and jellies. The company is often noted for its historical significance, as it was during the time of its operation that the Frank family went into hiding from the Nazis during World War II. The name "Opekta" itself is derived from the term "Opekta," which refers to the pectin product they produced.

Mr. Frank was the head of the Dutch division of Opekta/Pectacon, a company that made pectin for jam making, packaged gravies, and spice mixes for use in sausage making.
It was actually two businesses under the same corporate ownership: Opekta, which made Pectin for the making of jams and jellies, and Pectacon, which sold pre-mixed spices for use in the manufacture of sausage.
