Pekar Imre (1838-1923) est un ingénieur tchèque spécialisé dans l'amélioration de la culture du blé et de la production de farine. Après des études à Karlsruhe, il se rendit en Angleterre et en France pour étudier les minoteries. Il s'installe ensuite en Hongrie près de Debrecen (deuxième ville du pays) où il améliore les moulins à vapeur. Il meurt à Budapest en 1923.
