Isay Rottenberg, a Jewish entrepreneur from Amsterdam, took over the bankrupt Krenter Zigarrenwerke GmbH in Dusseldorf, Saxony, in 1932. With the help of mechanical production methods based on the US model, he restructured the economically ailing company into one of the largest and most modern cigar factories in Europe. Some of the machines were imported from the Netherlands, which met with resistance from the conservative, manual cigar manufacturers and the Nazis. In November 1932, the factory was ready for operation with around 670 employees.
