Giving up a large share of revenue in a thriving business all for a fly? Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus, the owner of the Reckhausen family-owned chemical company in Deppendorf, Germany, did exactly that. When the 59-year-old CEO took over his family's insecticide company from his father in 1995, he didn't pay much attention to flies or insects. Like his father before him, he was manufacturing everything needed to eliminate them bug spray, ant powder, moth paper and fly traps.
