Quality Obsession as Non-Negotiable Standard

“Two investigations Rupert requested to be done showed that he seriously considered entering the beer market at this early stage in his career as entrepreneur. The one was to find out where the best brewing equipment could be obtained − typical of Rupert, only the best was good enough. Heusschneider told Hoogenhout during a conversation that the Skoda factories in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, were the best bet. Establishing a brewery with a capacity to produce 120 000 bottles a month would cost about £100 000, he said.”

“Rupert’s exceptional emphasis on quality was to become a supreme feature of the Rembrandt Group.”
