Adena Golf & Country Club
Frank Stronach envisioned a place where families could share experiences. Where time spent together was of the highest quality. A place that could be admired, not only for its masterful craftsmanship, but its respect for the natural surroundings.
Nestled on a beautiful parcel of emerald-green grassland in the Horse Capital of the World, the Adena Golf & Country Club quietly takes in everything Ocala, Florida has to offer.

Pegasus & Dragon is a monument and also a monumental engineering project, to create one of the worlds largest bronze structures.
In 2011, Frank Stronach, drafted the initial rough sketch of a massive horse sculpture to honor the great contributions that horses have made to human civilization throughout history.
Five years later, the result of Frank Stronach’s tribute is Pegasus and Dragon, an iconic monument that pays homage to the courage, speed and power of the horse. The monument features Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, standing triumphantly over a fallen dragon.

Project history
This is only a short summary of some of the most interesting projects out of Frank Stronachs huge portfolio.
As his lifes work is too diverse and complex to show each and every project, Frank selected his personal favorites, looking back on more than 60 years of entrepreneurial experience.
One of Frank Stronach’s most significant accomplishments is the creation of a Corporate Constitution that governs Magna International Inc., the company he founded in 1957.
The Corporate Constitution is much more than a mission statement – it is the cornerstone of Magna’s unique entrepreneurial culture. At the core of the Corporate Constitution is a clear-cut formula – or economic charter of rights – that allows each of Magna’s key stakeholders to participate in the Company’s growth and profitability.

Magna International Inc. was the base for all other projects Frank Stronach endeavored. It was the result and remarkable success story, based on his hard work and entrepreneurial acumen. Starting out as a small toolmaking workshop, Frank Stronach grew his business to become an international group, which today employs more than 155,000 people in 312 manufacturing operations and 98 product development and engineering centers in 29 countries.
In 2014 Frank Stronach said his farewell to the company he built and received the final payout for his original shares.

Rescuing Evacuees from the Hurricane Katrina Disaster
In September 2005, Frank Stronach initiated the evacuation of hundreds of victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
Magna founder and Chairman Frank Stronach was sitting in a hotel room watching TV news reports of the worst natural disaster in US history. Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and damage that left close to one million people along the Gulf Coast homeless and in need of food and shelter. Most of the hardest hit victims were seniors and the very poor. Watching images of homeless and helpless people trying to flee New Orleans, Frank remembered his own upbringing in war-torn Austria – a time when he was poor and hungry. Those experiences, said Frank, “are burned right into the soul.”
He picked up the phone and got in touch with some of Magna’s senior executives. He asked them to put together an emergency rescue plan to move hundreds of evacuees by bus and plane to a Florida horse training facility in West Palm Beach.
