Ramen and its surroundings belonged to the Golitsyn family. After the death of Count F.S. Golitsyn, the estate fell into decline, and to improve the financial situation, it was decided to build two factories: a paper factory on the Khipani River and a spinning factory near Borisoglebsk Lake in the village of Novotroitskoye-Ramen. The first factory turned out to be unprofitable and soon closed, while the second began to generate profit but soon burned down under unclear circumstances. Later, new buildings for the enterprise were erected.
Over time, part of the factory was acquired by entrepreneur Pavel Malyutin. In 1851, the estate passed to A.F. Prozorovsky-Golitsyn, and that same year Malyutin invited a young technologist, F.M. Dmitriev, to lead production. Under his leadership, the factory became one of the best textile enterprises in Russia. In 1853, the factory employed 1,130 people and ranked second in the Moscow province in terms of the number of workers.
In 1866, Prozorovsky-Golitsyn completely sold the enterprise to Malyutin. Under their management, the Ramen Manufacturing became a leading industrial enterprise in Russia. Cotton was purchased in Orenburg, Astrakhan, at the Nizhny Novgorod fair, and in England. The factory produced twisted yarn and fine threads, and with the advent of weaving production, fabric, bumasya, satin, reps, mitkal, calico, and flannel. The products were mainly sold to Moscow and provincial paper-weaving factories. The factory received many domestic and international awards.
By 1900, the 'Ramen Paper-Spinning Manufacturing' represented a whole city with several factory buildings, stone houses for employees and workers, a hospital, a school, a theater hall, a store, and other infrastructure.
In 1907, the owner of the manufacturing became industrialist Mikhail Bardygin, who modernized production, expanded its area, and purchased new equipment.
In 1918, the factory was nationalized and continued its operations. The brick buildings of the Ramen Manufacturing have survived to this day, although production is no longer carried out there. Undoubtedly, the Ramen Manufacturing is an important monument to the development of domestic industry.
