OUR STORY

León Werthein came to Argentina in 1904 on a ship carrying immigrants from Bessarabia (a region that includes parts of present-day Ukraine and Moldavia). His wife, Ana Jajam, followed him one year later. Together, they settled in Bahía Blanca, a city in the Province of Buenos Aires, with their four children: Gregorio, Elisa, Numo and Israel. Their other children, Abraham, Fany, Noel and Julio, were born in Argentina. Leon had two brothers who also left Bessarabia; one went to Australia and the other went to China.

León settled in the town of Ingeniero White and found work as a longshoreman at the port. After being promoted to foreman, he moved to Salliqueló and opened a general store. From there, León and his sons Gregorio and Numo moved to Miguel Riglos (Province of La Pampa), a town that flourished thanks to the local railroad station and farming activities. Noel joined them there in 1924, when he was just 13 years old.

In 1917, León opened another small general store, and in 1928, his sons founded Gregorio, Numo and Noew Werthein (GNNW), which laid the foundations for the creation of the group.

Noel married Sara Fischman, another immigrant from Bessarabia, with whom he had three children: Leo, Daniel and Adrián. Leo studied Law but, in the end, decided to dedicate his time to farming. Daniel studied to be a veterinarian and, together with Leo, made the Werthein family a pioneer in Argentina in animal breeding; cereal, oilseed and grain production; and Goods and Services."

THE COMPANY NOW

From the start, GNNW has been a key player in the history of agriculture and animal breeding in Argentina, evolving from a local operation to a company with a global and international vision centered on producing value-added products and exporting them to five continents.
