\nFred Chase Koch este un inginer chimist american \u015fi fondatorul Koch Industries, a doua companie privat\u0103 ca m\u0103rime din Statele Unite ale Americii. Fred C. Koch s-a n\u0103scut \u00een Quanah, Texas, \u00een familia imigrantului german Harry Koch, proprietarul ziarului Tribune – Chief. <\/p>\n
\nFred Koch a studiat \u00een cadrul Institutului Rice din Houston din 1917 p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een 1919 \u015fi a absolvit Institutul Massachusetts de Tehnologie (MIT) \u00een 1922, \u00een cadrul c\u0103ruia a ob\u0163inut licen\u0163a \u00een practica ingineriei chimice. Koch \u015fi-a \u00eenceput cariera \u00een cadrul Texas Company, iar mai t\u00e2rziu a devenit inginer \u015fef \u00een compania Medway Oil & Storage din Kent, Anglia.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen 1925 s-a al\u0103turat unui coleg din MIT, P.C. Keith, la compania Keith-Winkler Engineering din Wichita, Kansas. Colegul lui a p\u0103r\u0103sit \u00eens\u0103 compania \u00een acela\u015fi an, iar aceasta s-a transformat \u00een Winkler-Koch Engineering Company. Doi ani mai t\u00e2rziu, Koch a inventat o modalitate mai eficient\u0103 \u00een procesul de cracare termic\u0103 pentru transformarea petrolului brut \u00een benzin\u0103 care permitea micilor juc\u0103tori din industrie s\u0103 concureze cu gigan\u0163ii domeniului.<\/p>\n
\nCompaniile mari l-au ac\u0163ionat imediat \u00een judecat\u0103 pe Koch, cu 44 de procese \u00eempotriva lui. Koch a c\u00e2\u015ftigat toate procesele, mai pu\u0163in unul – \u00een care s-a dovedit pe parcursul anilor c\u0103 judec\u0103torul fusese mituit. Chiar dac\u0103 a c\u00e2\u015ftigat lupta din s\u0103lile de judecat\u0103, litigiul extins a scos din afaceri compania Winkler-Koch timp de mai mul\u0163i ani.<\/p>\n
\nDrept consecin\u0163\u0103, Koch s-a concentrat ulterior pe pie\u0163ele externe, inclusiv Uniunea Sovietic\u0103, unde compania a construit 15 instala\u0163ii de cracare \u00een intervalul 1929 – 1932. La \u00eenceputul anului 1930, Winkler-Koch ajunsese chiar s\u0103 g\u0103zduiasc\u0103 tehnicieni sovietici pentru training. Compania s-a extins \u00eens\u0103 cu instala\u0163iile de cracare \u015fi \u00een alte \u0163\u0103ri din Europa, Orientul Mijlociu \u015fi Asia. Koch a reu\u015fit s\u0103 asigure astfel cu succes averea familiei, iar mai t\u00e2rziu a adus noi parteneri.<\/p>\n
\nDin 1940, compania a devenit Wood River Petrol \u015fi Rafinare, iar \u00een 1946, dup\u0103 ce firma a cump\u0103rat rafin\u0103ria Rock Island \u015fi un sistem de colectare a petrolului brut din apropiere de Duncan, Oklahoma, a fost redenumit\u0103 Wood Rock Island Oil & Refining Company.<\/p>\n
\nDup\u0103 moartea sa, \u00een 1966, atribu\u0163iile de management ale companiei devenite \u00eentr-un final Koch Industries au revenit celor patru fii ai s\u0103i. \u00cen perioada petrecut\u0103 \u00een Uniunea Sovietic\u0103, Koch a ajuns s\u0103 dispre\u0163uiasc\u0103 regimul comunist al lui Iosif Stalin. A scris chiar o carte pe aceast\u0103 tem\u0103, intitulat\u0103 \u201eUn om de afaceri se uit\u0103 la comunism\u201e (A Business Man Looks at Communism), \u00een care spunea c\u0103 Uniunea Sovietic\u0103 este un regim al foametei, mizeriei \u015fi terorii. \u00cen prezent, compania are venituri de peste 115 miliarde de dolari \u015fi mai bine de 60.000 de angaja\u0163i.<\/p>\n
\nCharles Koch este pre\u015fedintele consiliului director al companiei, iar David H. Koch este CEO-ul acesteia, dup\u0103 ce Frederick \u015fi William Koch le-au v\u00e2ndut ac\u0163iunile \u00een schimbul a 1,1 miliarde de dolari.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
