SchrEck Inc.
SchrEck Enterprises, Inc. is a fake company that was founded in 1982 by Christian Schröder and Henning Eckebrecht (hence the name). Up to this date, SchrEck Inc. unfortunately failed to gain national and international significance and to generate any income for its owners.
SchrEck Inc.'s favourite subbings
