Glove cotton thread

The thread factory was established in 1902. It was founded by Viennese entrepreneurs who managed to gain important partners from the COATS family, one of the largest European manufacturers of textile fibers, based in the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland. The company still exists today: https://www.coats.com/en/ . The entry of this investor brought an expansion of both production and sales for the thread factory. Initially, the factory produced cotton threads and bobbins. In 1919, the name of the factory was changed to the “Bratislava Thread Factory Joint-Stock Company” and it was fully taken over by the COATS family. In the late 1920s, the factory expanded its product range to include colored embroidery threads by purchasing smaller production facilities in the Czech lands, and cotton thread production was transferred to Bratislava under the brand MEZ—since the semi-finished products for these cotton threads were supplied by the German MEZ Freiburg plant. In 1946, the factory was nationalized and incorporated into the state enterprise Slovak Cotton Works in Ružomberok. However, in 1949 the Bratislava plants were removed from the portfolio, and Cvernovka became the core production plant of a new enterprise called DANUBIA. This enterprise, besides Cvernovka and Danubiuska, also included smaller plants in Vysoká na Morave, Malacky, Kuklov, Kúty, and Hanzlíková near Trenčín. The purpose of the new enterprise was the processing and finishing of textile raw materials, weaving, dyeing, and the production of textile goods.
