...soon overshadowed its European trunk. The company expanded even more rapidly under Ernest Bunge's successor, German-born Alfred ("Don Alfredo") Hirsch, who used the grain trade profits to diversify into milling and manufacturing. Since Hirsch's death in 1956, the domain has been run by a cosmopolitan band of second-generation Argentines of German, French and Dutch ancestry.
