Jonkman Enterprises: Difference between revisions

When the republic was founded and properly installed Jonkman Handelhuizen or as it was more commonly known Jonkman Compagnie found itself in an interesting position. Through the latter half of the 1800s, it has invested a great amount of money and made itself incredibly wealthy through its close ties with the pre republican govermentgovernment. While it had close ties with the elite it still retained its position as a company that cared about its workers and was not directly associated with the old regime. This put it in a position where it was able to weather the early years and continue to expand, not just diversifying its operations but also expanding its operations across the American continent.  It was a major contributing factor in NNL her rapid economic growth and advancement from backwater to one of the leading industrial powers on the continent and even in the world.

By the 1920s the Jonkman Groep was then known as the largest manufacturer and innovator of NNL, its backbone being industrial goods, ships, trade, electricity, retail, insurance, and mining yet it was to start its newest and riskiest expansion yet. With the rise of the AeroplaneAero plane Jan Anne Jonkman, the then Director-Generaal of the Groep knew that it was an industry that would be the future. In a series of acquisitions, the Groep bought small aircraft manufactures and designers, and with the help of the military, who wanted a sustainable and robust domestic Aviation industry it began to build up the aviation industry of NNL. In 1927 it also entered the radio broadcasting industry and entertainment industry as it established itself as a movie producer, radio broadcaster, film equipment, and radio makers, it even bought several theatres throughout the nation. It became a silent contributor to the growing entertainment industry in NNL. It was in this period of time that the company became one of the wealthiest if not the wealthiest company in Nieuw Nederlandt with its influence being strong enough to put itself in the Huis der Patronen. Yet despite its fast wealth, the company was still seen by many as a company that actually cared about its community.
