Johannes Kleiman was involved in the establishment and operation of Pectacon.

Subject

Johannes Kleiman's involvement in the establishment and operation of Pectacon is evident from the documents made available by Frans Hofhuis. Hofhuis' parents had been friends with the Frank family since the early 1930 s. In the 1960s, Frans Hofhuis took over Pectacon, hence his possession of these documents.

Brief timeline of the company:

  • Kleiman receives the draft articles of association of Pectacon from Otto Frank. On 28 May 1938, Kleiman sends lawyer Dunselman a number of proposed amendments.[1]
  • 1 June 1938 Pectacon is incorporated by Kleiman and Dunselman at notary E.J.M. Luykx.[2]

  • 15 June 1938 Kleiman writes to Luykx and Dunselman that the deposits referred to above had been made.[5] The same day Kleiman, as director of Pectacon, signs the interim certificates for 15 shares.[6]
  • 16 June 1938 Kleiman instructs the bank to transfer NLG 245.40 to Dunselman as a fee for work pertaining to the establishment.[7]
