A dispute over the control and possible sale of a family-owned La Vista business has erupted into five lawsuits stemming from conflicts between company founder Wayne Ryan and CEO Connie Ryan, his daughter, with tens of millions of dollars at stake.
Also at stake are the future ownership of Streck Inc., a 366-employee maker of laboratory material such as blood testing supplies, and the relationships among members of a family generous in its support of Omaha-area schools, churches and medical research.
The family conflicts became public in 2014 after months of rising tension between Wayne and Connie Ryan following the death of Eileen Krebs Ryan in March 2013.
