At one time, there were around 3,000 mostly Užice women in this workplace, producing recognizable and prized textiles in their parts of the old state and throughout Europe.
Užice Mališa merchants Atanacković, Jovan Golubović, Aleksa Popović and Tomo Naumović, together with local industrialists, founded the “Weaving Workshop” in 1897, as a joint-stock company. It was the beginning of industrialization in this part of Serbia. Starting in 1946, the factory was named after Cveta Dabić, a worker in a textile factory, who was shot in 1942 in the Banjica countryside.

The nationalized factory had an export program to Western Europe, it was a symbol of women’s entrepreneurship and a great “brand”, not just Uzice.
In the nineties of the last century, together with the disintegration of the then state, the collapse of the factory began. Bankruptcy was declared only in 2006, and the owner became MMP “Jedinstvo”.
The demolition of the industrial complex on the coast of Cetinje will be completed by the end of December.
