British entrepreneur Richard Arkwright is credited with building the first modern factory.

Sir Richard Arkwright was an English inventor. His greatest accomplishment was to combine power, machinery, semi-skilled labor and the new raw material of cotton to generate mass-produced yarn. Afterward, Arkwright was known as the father of the modern industrial factory system.
