For Peter Maria Löw and his business partner a run-down business space in provincial East
Westphalia was the equivalent of the garage in Albuquerque used by Bill Gates and his friends.
It was the start of a new business model: buying companies cheaply restructuring them and then
selling them off at high prices. Löw has since taken over more than almost 300 companies more
than any other entrepreneur worldwide. Fluffs: Confessions of a Corporate Raider reads like an
adventure story that puts our ideas about the world of business into perspective for the long
term.
