Pantaenius Australia Pty Ltd

Hamburg on a warm September day in 1899: Young Johann C. Pantaenius is likely to be found somewhere on the quays of the Hanseatic city. He casually goes by Hans, is 33 years old and has learned the insurance business. The burgeoning economy of the German Empire and Hamburg's role as the centre of overseas trade make him hope for lucrative opportunities… A flowery baron, an idea-sparking barn fire and rubber boots with business suits - how Pantaenius became what we are today.
