all, silkier from 1954 when J\u00fcrgen Schalk, the grandfather of the current director, founded Barth &amp; K\u00f6nenkamp Seiden in February of the same year. He had previously bought all the silk from the company when it became insolvent. J\u00fcrgen Schalk held the reins until June 1977.<\/p>\n<p>Until his son <strong>Stephan Schalk<\/strong> joined in <strong>1983<\/strong>, the trading house was managed by the directors <strong>Rolf Bading and Peter Schanze<\/strong>, with widow Izabel Schalk having an influence in the background. She made sure that her son followed in the footsteps of his father, after completing an apprenticeship in the Bremen trading house Melchers. It is thanks to J\u00fcrgen Schalk&#8217;s commitment to what was effectively pioneering work back in the 1960s \u2013 busily building relations and establishing business contacts in Japan, India and China \u2013 that Barth &amp; K\u00f6nenkamp Seiden has a firm foundation which is still stable to this day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16725 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/p687516.mittwaldserver.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/stephan-schalk.jpg\" alt=\"Stephan Schalk\" width=\"176\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stephan Schalk was blessed with strong leadership qualities, an insight into human nature and skilled communication, and so improved the fortunes of the trading company as he guided its affairs with a sense of tradition and composure. He cared deeply about the \u201csilk family\u201d and always cultivated cooperative relations with his competitors. This was a major factor in enabling him to establish a large international network. He was also a Hanseatic philanthropist through and through, as evidenced by his commitment to social causes in Bremen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16721 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/p687516.mittwaldserver.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/caspar-schalk.jpg\" alt=\"Caspar Schalk\" width=\"176\" height=\"213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When Mr. Bading and Mr. Schanze retired in <strong>1991<\/strong>, <strong>Edgar Nierentz<\/strong> stepped in and worked at the side of Stephan Schalk as authorised signatory (Prokurist).
