Ortkras was single, having no offspring, the direction of it was taken over by two people who worked with him were: Wolfgang Stork (Stork and his son Alexander) and John Michael Andriano (his son Daniel, and grandson James). These two families continue to maintain through the years and for the third generation, the same provisions of camaraderie and solidarity that had established their predecessors.

Once we were four months without talking, I gave orders through his secretary. Until one day, called me and said, "How about if we make a pizza half and half mozzarella anchovies, your knowledge with my experience." And from from there we began to understand. "

Those who were always on the chemical issue and Alexander were Wolfgang Stork, who sadly passed away, but this is a family business, I'm the godfather of his eldest son, Andrew and his brother, Max, is already incorporating the company, because it's already here my son Santiago.
· So many relatives in the company do not conflict?
· conflicts in family businesses are created because there are more chiefs than Indians, we tried that did not happen, so we have created several empresitas so that those who carry the name, have a place. I already took more than 40 years the company, grew up here and I have a mind not to repeat with my children the first time to my father. Imagine living on this block 12 families who work with us in our properties. For as good Italian family, all the ahorrábamos bucks in bricks. There are workers who live more than 20 years in these houses, which the company makes to defend themselves, on the other hand, having them so close to us makes them live with family situations.

· And the HR manager here is crazy.
· How do you reconcile this policy with the dehumanizing prevailing personal?
