Also to avoid the Schio woolen mill crisis, in 1749 Tron acquired in company with the German Giorgio Sthal, who became its director, the historical woolen mill of Follina, thriving company of considerable size in the late 1600s, but in a deep crisis in the mid-1700s. As was the case for Schio, he introduced new processes, the londrine seconde, brought in foreign technicians and employed new technologies, and within a few years the factory employed a thousand people, becoming one of the largest factories in Italy. From 1766 he worked first in the Schio woolen mill and later in the Follina mill, the Frenchman Jean Pierre Douarche, who introduced the flying spool invented by John Kay, which halved the labor required for weaving.
