Severny Textil, enterprise

Categories / Economy/Industry
SEVERNY TEXTIL (18 Bogatyrsky Avenue; 34 Kozhevennaya Line), a linen-making and cloth-selling enterprise. Founded in 1823 as Y. Lutsch Factory, it belonged to I. A. Voronin, Lutsch, and Chesher Joint-Stock Company from 1899. It specialised in bleaching and dyeing fabrics and attaching patterns and gloss. Nationalised in 1919, the factory stood idle in 1920-21. It resumed its work in 1922, renamed after revolutionary V. K. Slutskaya (1874-1917). The factory manufactured camouflage nets, clothes and linen fabrics during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45 and specialised in finishing cotton fabrics produced by all Leningrad factories in the post-war period. It also started dyeing synthetic, artificial, and mixed fabrics in the 1960s. The factory's products were sold throughout the country and exported abroad. The factory became a joint-stock company in 1993 and was renamed into Severny Textil. After St. Petersburg weaving factories were closed down and finishing operations were suspended, the enterprise started making bed linen and underwear and selling fabrics instead.
