It was a Caritas childcare transfer to Portugal in 1948 that was to decide the future and career of my father, Gerhard Schiesser.

From History
Historically speaking, Cork is mentioned the first time in approx. 4500 BC in Egypt as being used to make buoys for fishing. Greeks and Romans used corks as stoppers for pottery vessels. Following the development of the glass bottle in the 18th century, the cork soon triumphs as the bottle closure of choice.
