feed her family of six children. One of his jobs was working in a
warehouse of a packaging company. Encouraged by the
promising profitability of a packaging format in Europe

local juice manufacturers. When no factory took notice, he
made his own fruit juice and launched what was to become
one of the biggest local juice brands.
