Timeline

1955

Vivian Saul Imerman (born 21 September 1955) is a South-African born businessman and former CEO of Del Monte International and Whyte and Mackay.

He was nicknamed 'The Man from Del Monte.'

Imerman was born to a Jewish family in Johannesburg, South Africa.

His grandfather was a Russian Jew who emigrated to South Africa after the Russian Revolution.

His father, Samuel Imerman, was a chemist.

He attended college seeking a degree in business law but never completed his studies.

He was conscripted into the South African Army during Apartheid and fought in the South African Border War.

Thereafter he worked for his father's chemical brokering business and then started his own company purchasing surplus chemicals and reselling them.

1980

In the early 1980s, he expanded his business, first, into the purchase of damaged goods (which he would then repair and resell for a profit), then, into the distribution of branded pharmaceuticals.

During the late 1980s, when Western companies were divesting themselves of assets in South Africa due to Apartheid, he purchased assets at prices far below their real value.

1981

He married South African Gina Gervis in 1981; they had three children.

.

1987

The pharmaceutical business boomed and, in 1987, Imerman listed his company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

He then expanded into food distribution, listing an additional three companies on the stock exchange in South Africa.

1989

In 1989, he bought the South African assets of both Nabisco and the Ferro chemical group.

1993

The Nabisco purchase gave him the option of purchasing Del Monte International, which he did in 1993, backed by an investment from South African mining company Anglo American plc; he later purchased 50% of Del Monte Asia.

1995

In 1995, he listed Del Monte International on the Singapore Stock Exchange, tripling the value of the business to £400 million.

1999

In 1999, he sold his remaining stake in the fruit company and moved to London.

In London, he met brothers Robert Tchenguiz and Vincent Tchenguiz; they partnered and purchased a minority interest in the distiller Kyndal (now Whyte and Mackay) with a £190 million loan from German investment bank WestLB.

Immerman served, first, as executive chairman, and then as CEO; there, he administered an aggressive cost-cutting program, and increased his ownership interest, from 35 percent to 60 percent, by buying out 60 shareholder employees.

2001

In 2001, he married Lisa Tchenguiz, sister of his business partners Robert Tchenguiz and Vincent Tchenguiz.

2005

In 2005, Imerman and the Tchenguiz brothers purchased the remaining interest in the firm, then, in 2007, sold the company to Indian-based United Spirits Limited for £595 million (then, US$1.2 billion), of which Imerman received £380 million.
