history
The handball club from Čakovec was first mentioned in 1930 under the name Hazena. Back then, people still played on a soccer field and on large goals. Only after the war was the handball club "Jedinstvo" founded in 1949, which emerged from the club "Hazena". This is also the official founding year of today's association.
One played on the grounds of "Hazena", first on red, later on black ashes. In 1969 the field was paved and illuminated. After all, they have been playing for small goals since 1949.
In 1989 "RK Čakovec" and "Zrinski" merged to form the association "RK Zrinski Čakovec". Two years later, the IPC company became the main sponsor, again changing its name to "RK Zrinski IPC".
In 1995 the club rose to the first Croatian league for the first time in the club's history. Two years later, the sponsor Zrinski left the club and handed over the naming rights to the new sponsor, a veterinary station from the city. Since then the club has been called "Perutnina Pipo IPC".
In its long club history, the club reached the qualification for the first Yugoslav league three times, but always lost. In 1983 the club won the Croatian Cup.
