In 1986 Former met an interesting opportunity when he was asked to go to Switzerland and modernize the old [[Bru-Bu]] factory and to develop a new, high-grade pipe given the English name "[[Bentley]]". He successfully took the opportunity, and spent the next 10 years in Switzerland. Former met his wife, Daniela, while working in Switzerland. In 1997, they decided to purchase the factory machinery and moved to Lauenburg / Elbe, where the Bentley production was continued at [[DAN PIPE]].
