The magazine in the Briefcase
July 19, 2010
In the early 1960s, a copy of the magazine Kunststoffe fell into my hands. In those years was the Manager of a small company in the vicinity of Frankfurt which had nothing to do with the plastic. Already at that time was a restless person and what I saw and read in this issue opened my eyes to another world. A new world, which not left me indifferent. Moreover, it fascinated me.
Weeks later I read in Kunststoffe that a leading manufacturer of injection machines was in full expansion and was looking for representatives, among others, to Spain. I do not hesitate a moment. I got in touch. The interview went well. It should decide to quit everything, including my family, to start the venture at Spain.
I caught my few savings, four catalogues of injection machines and, of course, a Kunsstoffe, who was traveling with prospects in my briefcase and went to the peninsula.
Hosted at a boarding house, away from my family, visiting newspaper companies in the sector. Are you exhausted the time and had just been savings. It should return. But at the last minute, my efforts were compensated with an important order. I called my family and we install at Spain.
This story now occurred almost 50 years ago. Kunststoffe and then plastic universal for all these years.
I'm already retired for some years, but my children, which form the second generation, remain in the market working with universal plastics. A collaboration, which has resulted in friendship and an excellent relationship with Ibon Linacisoro and his team.
