In 1972 Preben Kurt Nielsen and his wife Juttine (Nowak) Nielsen mortgaged their house to start a trading firm which they called NOWACO.
Coming from a company that traded in food Nielsen knew what he was dealing with. Armed with an inventive mind and a typewriter, he and his wife, who knew how to settle the accounts, were in business. Soon NOWACO was a thriving trading company.
Part of the success was due to the fact that Nielsen often happened to be in the right spot at the right time.
What a waste!
Something fishy going on?

Not by chance of course! He knew instinctively when to act on novel opportunities, and in many ways Nielsen was a pioneer in his field.
