Champ Clark
Cigar factory [known as the Champ Clark and Lugano Cigar Factory] in Nieuwe Pekela, owned by the Koning family and founded in 1895. The company disappeared in 1971 due to financial problems. These arose when, after actions and strikes (1969), an extra allowance for the staff was forced. The building of the illustrious cigar factory later housed a department of the East Groningen Redevelopment. In fact, Champ Clark lives on in the famous male choir Albatros. That was once formed by the cigar makers of Nieuwe Pekela. Before the war, no fewer than 300 people worked in cigar production.
