With the construction of the railway connecting Lugoj and Ilia, the small town of Margina caught the attention of investors eager to capitalize on its strategic location. In 1910, the Budapest-based Razskatol Society commissioned a German firm to design and construct a wood distillation factory, aimed at processing beechwood through chemical distillation. Operations commenced in 1912, but the outbreak of World War I led to the factory’s closure. After a hiatus, production resumed in 1921 under predominantly Romanian ownership, marking the beginning of a new industrial chapter for Margina.

Am remarcat si eu frumusetea acestei cladiri in drumurile mele. Ar fi un mare castig pentru comunitatea locala si nu doar, sa ii gaseasca un nou sens.
