Forge Plant

The construction of the Kamsky  Forge Plant began in 1971 when in July the first bucket of natural soil was excavated to lay its foundation. The construction pace was impressive.

• May , 1972 Erected the first column  of  Production Building No. 1
• November, 1973 Completed  the erection of the production buildings
• September, 1974 Started –up the installation of  cutting machines
• December, 1974 Started up the production of dies in the Dies-and-Tooling Shop.
• September, 1975 Made the first forging of  a cardan shaft spider in Shop No.1.
• December, 1975  The State Commission signed the Acceptance Certificate of putting the 1st Stage equipment into operation at the Forge Plant.

In 1971, the personnel  of the plant already numbered  210, and 60 of them  worked in Moscow.  The group comprised  shop superintendents and main specialists. Planning of the plant  jointly with the head institute was a part of their task. It is worth to note that   both the planning and construction of the plant  were conducted simultaneously.  At the same time workers, engineers and technicians were provided to meet the needs for  communications, equipment and technologies.

In December 1975, production buildings No. 1, 3, 4 and 5 were put in use  as it was planned for the 1st Stage of construction. The 2nd  Stage of construction was completed in December 1980 and the operating capacity of the plant  was 300 000 forgings/year.

Thirty one year has passed since the beginning of the construction.  We still adhere to the traditions created by the pioneers in the construction and  setting-up of the plant.  At present the personnel of the enterprise numbers over 2000 and  Gennady S. Logunov acts as  the Plant Manager.
