is the German term for combine and was used as name prefix when describing the leading VEB unit of any given group after the formerly used designation for that cause (VVB) had been dropped.
For example the VVB Feinkeramik Kahla later became the Kombinat VEB Porzellanwerk Kahla. While both of those names described the whole group of production units, the name VEB Porzellanwerk Kahla alone (without the Kombinat addition) only described the single factory on Kahla.
