That was the message that Carlos Pedro Spadone read from his uncle's desk when he was only eleven years old. It was a phrase that struck the young boy who started at fifteen with his younger brother Juan Francisco Lorenzo his first business dividing steel wool at their home garage, and which still inspires the experienced businessman daily some decades later.

The man, who defines himself as a work lover is, with his brother, the founder of what they are now proud to introduce as the Spadone corporations.

Their first public limited corporation was created on May 11th, 1960. Since then the Spadones have always showed initiative and adaptability in their various successful undertakings.

Now, after 40 years as businessmen, Carlos Pedro Spadone and his brother Lorenzo are still partners in areas such as show and entertainment, logistics and real estate investing. In 1992 Carlos Pedro Spadone started his own undertakings in the fields of mass media, food and agriculture, international representations and tourism.

His main aim is to put capital at the service of work to offer noble products of excellent quality.

A goal that all the members of the family participating actively in the companies follow and put into practice. For it is Carlos Spadone who, owing to his father Francisco Pedro most of what he now is, presently transmits to his descendants the value of a family run enterprise, where everybody knows and respects each other, where there is confidence and love, where they all work together with the common objective of constantly growing.

Growth which is never ending and which now, with 20 active companies of Argentinean origin, capital and management, still projects into the future. A very promising future: from Argentina to foreign countries, where the Spadone corporations plan to target their products and businesses.

A new challenge that Carlos Pedro Spadone is committed to face with determination. In this opportunity, heading a holding of homogeneous companies ready to confront the demands of the new millennium's global character.
