Groningen, a sleepy peasant province in the poor north, was the unlikely birthplace of the first Dutch manufacturing multinational. Selfmade industrialist Willem Albert Scholten realized that instead of exporting the local potato crop south, it was more lucrative to process them into various products in local factories, so he built some around the homonymous capital. He kept innovating and branching out, notably east, to Prussia, Austria and even Russia. Great wealth creation allowed the 'parvenu' a grand life style, making his mark all over, while exploiting his staff ruthlessly. Although he kept innovating and branching out, petty payment of the farmers ended up motivating them to set up a cooperative competition, which spelled the end of the Scholten empire.
