Description

The New Niquero Sugar Company was incorporated in 1905 and replaced the Niquero Sugar Company. The company owned the Niquero mill set up in mill along with land and railroads and belonged to the sphere of influence of the Cuban-American Sugar Company. Like many other sugar companies active in Cuba it was unable to pay a dividend on its common shares from 1925 - 1938 (and likely thereafter). It however managed to avoid reorganization during the 20s and 30s. In 1948 it was acquired by a Cuban company.
