Antonius Johannes Jurgens

Antonius Johannes Jurgens, also known as Anton Jurgens (8 February 1867 – 12 March 1945Шаблон:Sfn) was a Dutch businessman.

He was born in Oss, the grandson of Joanna Lemmens and of Antoon Jurgens,Шаблон:Sfn who founded a butter company in 1867 and, in 1871, the first margarine factory in the world.

The Jurgens family had moved from the neighborhood of Heerlen, in the south of the Netherlands and close to the German border, to Oss, where the family company was founded; they were known as the moffen, a derogatory term for Germans. Anton Jurgens became the pater familias of the company, which would retain its family structure until the fusion with Van den Bergh in 1927.[1]

Jurgens succeeded his father in business at the age of 21,Шаблон:Sfn and was one of the main European margarine and soap manufacturers in the early twentieth century with Pieter-Eduard Leverd.Шаблон:Citation needed Шаблон:Citation needed span
