Tie factory "Luch" was founded in 1869 as Shchelkovskaya tie factory by Ivan Alekseevich LIKHANOV in Grebnevo, Russian Empire. The factory that made silk head scarves, which were in great demand among the people, was relatively small. The number of handlooms did not exceed 25. Closer to 1880, the range of the factory expanded due to the production of lustrine - thin, stiff, light woolen, semi-woolen (with the addition of silk) or cotton fabric of linen, twill or satin weave, usually black or grey. Lustrine was distinguished by a glossy shiny surface, which was formed as a result of special processing of ready-made fabric. After the death of Ivan Alekseevich around 1880, the factory passed into the hands of his sons, Ivan and Dmitry, who divided it up. By 1897, Ivan Ivanovich reunited his enterprise with the factory of his deceased brother Dmitry. After the death of Ivan Ivanovich LIKHANOV from liver cancer in December 1901, the enterprise passed into the possession of his sons Ivan and Fyodor Ivanovich. After the death of Fyodor Ivanovich in November 1907, the factory was wholly owned by his older brother Ivan Ivanovich LIKHANOV (1873-1940). In 1918, the textile factories of the Bogorodsk district were nationalized, and the former factory of Likhanov became the "Trubinsky branch of the artel for the production of silk products." The Trubinskaya weaving artel was organized in the same 1918 on the basis of five local nationalized factories. In 1932, a tie factory was transferred from Moscow to Grebnevo, and the name was changed to Tie factory "Luch" (Галстучная фирма «Луч» / Галстучная фабрика «Луч»). In 1980, the Luch tie factory, known throughout the country, offered customers more than 100 types of ties. Around 1998, the enterprise was transformed into "Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Luch Tie Enterprise", which later became a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Currently, the former Luch factory in Grebnevo belongs to Classic LLC, producing decorative fabrics for furniture.
