He owned Austria's largest silk factory, which produced stockings, napkins, curtains, and fabric for furniture. The company was founded by his father Solomon Trebic in 1838. The company had factories in Marisch Schoenberg , Blaude and Wigstadtl , as well as a large branch in Vienna.
He was a chess lover. Shortly before his death, he allocated to the Vienna Chess Club ( German: Wiener Schachklub ) 100 thousand Austro-Hungarian kroner for organizing regular chess tournaments. He died a month before the start of the first tournament, so the competition was immediately given the name Trebich tournament . [one]
