By: Old Krenholm OÜ The intriguing project concept is published on the website www.lastmeters.com. One square meter of fabric is a one book. In total 1000 meters of fabric were acquired. Project developers are speaking about the great historical heritage left by “Krenholm manufacture” However project developers claiming that it is not all about the profit. First and foremost they wanted to contribute to preserving the memory of the legendary textile factory which recently turned 155 years and to allow former “Krenholm manufacture” As a remainder, Krenholm manufacture was founded by a German entrepreneur Ludwig Knoop in 1857 and throughout many years it was a flagship of the European and world textile industry. Krenholm achieved major success in 1912 and during 1970-1980 period, when its compact factories employed more than 10000 workers. In 1996 the young Estonian state privatised Krenholm manufacture to Swedish company Boras Wafveri AB. As a result, huge Krenholm factories with its full technological cycle (from cotton processing to textile products output), perfected technological process and fully operated machinery were sold for a mere 17,6 mln. EUR. However, Swedes could not use this favourable situation to its advantage and could not compete with the Chinese producers. After 9 years “Krenholm manufacture” The detailed information on Krenholm history can be found on the project website www.lastmeters.com. It uncovers the amazing historical facts: 150 years the US was major supplier of raw materials, Germans were gastarbeiters and worked in the Eastern Europe, textile was exported to China, and the leading industrial company was in Estonia. This website offers to purchase «The last meters of Krenholm» book, which itself is a true masterpiece of industrial heritage. Along with the fabric, leather, wood and brick parts were used for its production. The latter two materials are partially from the demolished remains of Krenholm buildings. The best Estonian craftsmen were involved in the book production and the most original methods of materials processing were used to create a truly unique book construction. In the future project developers are planning to widen the list of the “last legendary items”. Such brands as Nokia, American Apparel and Saab may be used as according to the authoritative source http://247wallst.com/ End
