B.Grimm




B.Grimm is the oldest conglomerate in Thailand.  It was started by an Austrian and a German.  They opened the first German pharmacy in Bangkok in the 1870s.  They were well connected to the Thai royal family.  Might have even been granted Thai citizenship. They owned a mercantile business in Bangkok.  The company, along with Siemens, helped design and build the BTS system.  One of the family members is worth $3 billion.
