Ignaz Schustala the Younger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ignaz Schustala ( Czech spelling Ignác Šustala ) (born March 3, 1862 in Nesselsdorf in Moravia; † September 27, 1914 ) was an old Austrian industrialist.

Ignaz Schustala, son of Ignaz Schustala of the same name , practiced at a car construction company after completing his studies in Paris and then returned to his father's company, Schustala & Comp. back and worked there as head of equipage construction . He was married to Adolf Raschka's daughter, his father's partner. Like his brothers, however, he left the company in the mid-1890s and sold the shares because he accepted the company policy of the new partner Fischer von Rösslerstamm, which was too hard on the employees to be able to expand the company more quickly. In return, he bought the Nesselsdorfer pottery factory , which belongs to his brother-in-law Adolf Raschka (of the same name as his father) and was able to inject capital into the factory again, so that the establishment of a new pottery workshop and the improvement of the machine park became possible. In 1909 a new building with two kilns was erected and, in addition to the production of tiles, he also started producing wall tiles. Ignaz Schustala died in 1914. His brother Adolf Schustala , who also became the guardian of his daughters, took over the management of his company . However, the First World War brought heavy losses in sales for the company, which until then had supplied the entire Austro-Hungarian monarchy and Romania. When Adolf Schustala also died in 1921, Adolf Raschka initially took over the company until Ignaz Schustala's son-in-law Ernst Richter took it over and ran it until 1945.
