1951 · 30 May 1962 Chemosvit, Tatrasvit, and town statusChemosvit, Tatrasvit a štatút mesta

In 1951 the single Baťa operation was split in two: Chemosvit took the chemistry — fibres, and later the packaging films still made here — and Tatrasvit took the knitwear and hosiery. Between them they employed most of the town. On 30 May 1962 Svit was granted the status of a town. It went on growing outward in blocks of flats, but nobody demolished the 1930s core, which is the reason there is anything unusual to look at today.Roku 1951 sa jediný Baťov podnik rozdelil na dva: Chemosvit prevzal chémiu — vlákna a neskôr obalové fólie, ktoré sa tu vyrábajú dodnes — a Tatrasvit pletiarstvo a pančuchy. Spolu zamestnávali väčšinu mesta. 30. mája 1962 dostal Svit štatút mesta. Rástol ďalej panelovými domami, jadro z tridsiatych rokov však nik neasanoval — a práve preto je tu dnes na čo pozerať.
