The ZRK Radio Plant in Warsaw, also known as Marcin Kasprzak, was a prominent Polish electronics company located in the Wola district of the city. It operated successfully from 1949 to 1999.

In July of 1951, the company began manufacturing radio receivers. The Aga receiver from Sweden, licensed to Syrena, was initially produced in tandem with Diora. ZRK products in the 1950s were designated with the T-3 label. One of their most well-known products from that era was the Stolica receiver. In 1957, ZRK was the first Polish plant to manufacture portable radios, specifically the tube Szarotka. Following this success, the production of tape recorders (Melodia) started in 1958, followed by car receivers (Żerań) in 1959.
