Back in the 1980’s, after finishing his schooling, Richard Baumgartner realised very early on, he had strong opinions on how a successful company needed to operate. He had worked for a few companies in a field where product perfection was the best way for that company to succeed. He felt, that to become successful, the company needed to supply a product which stood out above its competitors, in design, functionality, but above all its manufacture and the use of only the best raw materials.Unfortunately, (or in actual fact fortunately), the company directors of where he was employed, were more driven by profit, rather than perfection.
