History
The plant was founded in July 13, 1932, when the Charter of the State Administration for the Construction and Temporary Operation of the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant was adopted by order of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry. At that time, the plant produced dredges, steam boilers and excavators for gold mines.
During World War II, the plant was one of the manufacturers of guns of various systems for the Red Army (including automatic anti-aircraft 61-K ), mortars, large aerial bombs, and sea mines. In 1949, it started production of automatic anti-aircraft gun AZP S-60.
In 1959-1965 the plant was reconstructed to produce new rocket and space technology.
From 1958 to 1961, the plant produced civilian products such as drive axles for the SK-3 grain harvester, and since 1964, it has produced refrigerators under the Biryusa brand.
The plant is the main manufacturer of ballistic missiles the R-29RMU Sineva for submarines. In addition, it produces basic modules of the upper stage for the launch vehicles Zenit-2 and Proton.
Since the plant’s founding, eleven workers were awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor, the highest level of distinction in the USSR.
From 1991, the plant produced civilian products, including growing polycrystalline silicon, manufacturing heat exchangers and boilers.
As part of the implementation of the 2016 State Defense Order, the plant started producing the R-29RMU Sineva ICBM.
