Kalinin Machines Plant
Machine-Building Plant named after M.I.Kalinin started its history in 1866, from the gun workshops in St-Petersburg, that consequently had grown into the state-governed plant producing artillery guns for infantry, and later for anti-air defense. In 1918 it was evacuated to Moscow suburb, and in 1941 - to Sverdlovsk. Since the late 1950s it has been specialised in production of launchers for anti-air missiles.
The company produces air defence missile complexes and systems, including separate combat units and components, namely, missiles and launchers. The S-300V air defence missile system is represented by both types of launchers, the 9A83-1 and 9A82, together with both types of missiles, the 9M82 and 9M83. Middle-range air defense facilities are represented by the modernized "BUK-M1" air defence missile complex which capabilities allow destroying land and sea-surface targets as well.
In 1994 the plant was reorganized into a joint-stock company. Initiated by the plant, the target program of designing and productionof new items - new diesel and electric forklift trucks, electric trol-leys etc., - was launched and supported by the Russian Government.
