The textile factory is one of the oldest enterprises in the Ulyanovsk region (founded in 1785). The landowner Stepan Grigorievich Melgunov, paying tribute to the fashion of the time, bought 6 machines. By that time, 56 workers for one season (from autumn to spring) produced up to one and a half thousand arshins of severe water (one thousand meters). The company paid off in a short time and began to generate income. However, the cloth factory became the largest textile factory in the province only under the rule of the Trubetskoy princes. The maximum output in those years reached 215 thousand arshins per year (150 thousand meters). During the years of wars, revolutions and reforms, the factory experienced many falls and ups. The crisis of the 90s of the last century also did not pass by the Mullowsky cloth factory. The factory management, in search of a way out of this situation, opted for the production of textile upholstery for car seats. The transition to the production of new products required the development of new technologies: the production of fabrics from polyester yarns, duplication of fabrics with a non-woven fabric and polyurethane.
