The Lech was later used to generate energy for tanneries and fabric dyeing works. In the middle of the 20th century, more than 400 people found work in the Reutten textile works. In January 2008 it was announced in an article in the Tiroler Tageszeitung that the weaving mill was the only remaining part of the old RTW to be closed at the end of June 2008.
