V Budišovicích se bridlice težila a zpracovávala približne od roku 1830. V blízkosti lomu postupne vznikl malý tovární areál, jehož majitelem se v roce 1867 stal kamenický mistr Jan Wondruška.
Konec továrny nastal 8. kvetna 1940, kdy pri požáru celý areál shorel. Težba a zpracování bridlice v Budišovicích už nikdy nebyly obnoveny.
Jen starý kamenný transformátor v pomyslném centru chatovište hrde stojí jako památník slavné Wondruškovy továrny.

In Budišovice the slate was mined and worked from around 1830. Near the quarry gradually formed a small factory complex, which was built in 1867 by the stone master Jan Wondruška.
The end of the factory occurred on May 8, 1940, when the fire burned the entire area. Mining and processing of slate in Budišovice has never been restored.
Just an old stone transformer in the imaginary center of the chateau proudly stands as a memorial to the famous Wondruk factory.
