History
During British rule, the New Egerton Woolen Mills (established in 1880 then purchased by Sir Alexander MacRobert in 1884) produced woolen worsted and hosiery of all kinds - in 1904 the company employed 908 people. These mills were famous throughout colonial India and were the only mills in Punjab at that time.
